                    GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE
                       Version 3, 29 June 2007
 Copyright (C) 2007 Free Software Foundation, Inc. <http://fsf.org/>
 Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
 of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
                            Preamble
  The GNU General Public License is a free, copyleft license for
 software and other kinds of works.
  The licenses for most software and other practical works are designed
 to take away your freedom to share and change the works.  By contrast,
 the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to
 share and change all versions of a program--to make sure it remains free
 software for all its users.  We, the Free Software Foundation, use the
 GNU General Public License for most of our software; it applies also to
 any other work released this way by its authors.  You can apply it to
 your programs, too.
  When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not
 price.  Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you
 have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for
 them if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you
 want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new
 free programs, and that you know you can do these things.
  To protect your rights, we need to prevent others from denying you
 these rights or asking you to surrender the rights.  Therefore, you have
 certain responsibilities if you distribute copies of the software, or if
 you modify it: responsibilities to respect the freedom of others.
  For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
 gratis or for a fee, you must pass on to the recipients the same
 freedoms that you received.  You must make sure that they, too, receive
 or can get the source code.  And you must show them these terms so they
 know their rights.
  Developers that use the GNU GPL protect your rights with two steps:
 (1) assert copyright on the software, and (2) offer you this License
 giving you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify it.
  For the developers' and authors' protection, the GPL clearly explains
 that there is no warranty for this free software.  For both users' and
 authors' sake, the GPL requires that modified versions be marked as
 changed, so that their problems will not be attributed erroneously to
 authors of previous versions.
  Some devices are designed to deny users access to install or run
 modified versions of the software inside them, although the manufacturer
 can do so.  This is fundamentally incompatible with the aim of
 protecting users' freedom to change the software.  The systematic
 pattern of such abuse occurs in the area of products for individuals to
 use, which is precisely where it is most unacceptable.  Therefore, we
 have designed this version of the GPL to prohibit the practice for those
 products.  If such problems arise substantially in other domains, we
 stand ready to extend this provision to those domains in future versions
 of the GPL, as needed to protect the freedom of users.
  Finally, every program is threatened constantly by software patents.
 States should not allow patents to restrict development and use of
 software on general-purpose computers, but in those that do, we wish to
 avoid the special danger that patents applied to a free program could
 make it effectively proprietary.  To prevent this, the GPL assures that
 patents cannot be used to render the program non-free.
  The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
 modification follow.
                       TERMS AND CONDITIONS
  0. Definitions.
  "This License" refers to version 3 of the GNU General Public License.
  "Copyright" also means copyright-like laws that apply to other kinds of
 works, such as semiconductor masks.
  "The Program" refers to any copyrightable work licensed under this
 License.  Each licensee is addressed as "you".  "Licensees" and
 "recipients" may be individuals or organizations.
  To "modify" a work means to copy from or adapt all or part of the work
 in a fashion requiring copyright permission, other than the making of an
 exact copy.  The resulting work is called a "modified version" of the
 earlier work or a work "based on" the earlier work.
  A "covered work" means either the unmodified Program or a work based
 on the Program.
  To "propagate" a work means to do anything with it that, without
 permission, would make you directly or secondarily liable for
 infringement under applicable copyright law, except executing it on a
 computer or modifying a private copy.  Propagation includes copying,
 distribution (with or without modification), making available to the
 public, and in some countries other activities as well.
  To "convey" a work means any kind of propagation that enables other
 parties to make or receive copies.  Mere interaction with a user through
 a computer network, with no transfer of a copy, is not conveying.
  An interactive user interface displays "Appropriate Legal Notices"
 to the extent that it includes a convenient and prominently visible
 feature that (1) displays an appropriate copyright notice, and (2)
 tells the user that there is no warranty for the work (except to the
 extent that warranties are provided), that licensees may convey the
 work under this License, and how to view a copy of this License.  If
 the interface presents a list of user commands or options, such as a
 menu, a prominent item in the list meets this criterion.
  1. Source Code.
  The "source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work
 for making modifications to it.  "Object code" means any non-source
 form of a work.
  A "Standard Interface" means an interface that either is an official
 standard defined by a recognized standards body, or, in the case of
 interfaces specified for a particular programming language, one that
 is widely used among developers working in that language.
  The "System Libraries" of an executable work include anything, other
 than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of
 packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major
 Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that
 Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an
 implementation is available to the public in source code form.  A
 "Major Component", in this context, means a major essential component
 (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system
 (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to
 produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.
  The "Corresponding Source" for a work in object code form means all
 the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable
 work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to
 control those activities.  However, it does not include the work's
 System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free
 programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but
 which are not part of the work.  For example, Corresponding Source
 includes interface definition files associated with source files for
 the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically
 linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require,
 such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those
 subprograms and other parts of the work.
  The Corresponding Source need not include anything that users
 can regenerate automatically from other parts of the Corresponding
 Source.
  The Corresponding Source for a work in source code form is that
 same work.
  2. Basic Permissions.
  All rights granted under this License are granted for the term of
 copyright on the Program, and are irrevocable provided the stated
 conditions are met.  This License explicitly affirms your unlimited
 permission to run the unmodified Program.  The output from running a
 covered work is covered by this License only if the output, given its
 content, constitutes a covered work.  This License acknowledges your
 rights of fair use or other equivalent, as provided by copyright law.
  You may make, run and propagate covered works that you do not
 convey, without conditions so long as your license otherwise remains
 in force.  You may convey covered works to others for the sole purpose
 of having them make modifications exclusively for you, or provide you
 with facilities for running those works, provided that you comply with
 the terms of this License in conveying all material for which you do
 not control copyright.  Those thus making or running the covered works
 for you must do so exclusively on your behalf, under your direction
 and control, on terms that prohibit them from making any copies of
 your copyrighted material outside their relationship with you.
  Conveying under any other circumstances is permitted solely under
 the conditions stated below.  Sublicensing is not allowed; section 10
 makes it unnecessary.
  3. Protecting Users' Legal Rights From Anti-Circumvention Law.
  No covered work shall be deemed part of an effective technological
 measure under any applicable law fulfilling obligations under article
 11 of the WIPO copyright treaty adopted on 20 December 1996, or
 similar laws prohibiting or restricting circumvention of such
 measures.
  When you convey a covered work, you waive any legal power to forbid
 circumvention of technological measures to the extent such circumvention
 is effected by exercising rights under this License with respect to
 the covered work, and you disclaim any intention to limit operation or
 modification of the work as a means of enforcing, against the work's
 users, your or third parties' legal rights to forbid circumvention of
 technological measures.
  4. Conveying Verbatim Copies.
  You may convey verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
 receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and
 appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice;
 keep intact all notices stating that this License and any
 non-permissive terms added in accord with section 7 apply to the code;
 keep intact all notices of the absence of any warranty; and give all
 recipients a copy of this License along with the Program.
  You may charge any price or no price for each copy that you convey,
 and you may offer support or warranty protection for a fee.
  5. Conveying Modified Source Versions.
  You may convey a work based on the Program, or the modifications to
 produce it from the Program, in the form of source code under the
 terms of section 4, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:
    a) The work must carry prominent notices stating that you modified
    it, and giving a relevant date.
    b) The work must carry prominent notices stating that it is
    released under this License and any conditions added under section
    7.  This requirement modifies the requirement in section 4 to
    "keep intact all notices".
    c) You must license the entire work, as a whole, under this
    License to anyone who comes into possession of a copy.  This
    License will therefore apply, along with any applicable section 7
    additional terms, to the whole of the work, and all its parts,
    regardless of how they are packaged.  This License gives no
    permission to license the work in any other way, but it does not
    invalidate such permission if you have separately received it.
    d) If the work has interactive user interfaces, each must display
    Appropriate Legal Notices; however, if the Program has interactive
    interfaces that do not display Appropriate Legal Notices, your
    work need not make them do so.
  A compilation of a covered work with other separate and independent
 works, which are not by their nature extensions of the covered work,
 and which are not combined with it such as to form a larger program,
 in or on a volume of a storage or distribution medium, is called an
 "aggregate" if the compilation and its resulting copyright are not
 used to limit the access or legal rights of the compilation's users
 beyond what the individual works permit.  Inclusion of a covered work
 in an aggregate does not cause this License to apply to the other
 parts of the aggregate.
  6. Conveying Non-Source Forms.
  You may convey a covered work in object code form under the terms
 of sections 4 and 5, provided that you also convey the
 machine-readable Corresponding Source under the terms of this License,
 in one of these ways:
    a) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by the
    Corresponding Source fixed on a durable physical medium
    customarily used for software interchange.
    b) Convey the object code in, or embodied in, a physical product
    (including a physical distribution medium), accompanied by a
    written offer, valid for at least three years and valid for as
    long as you offer spare parts or customer support for that product
    model, to give anyone who possesses the object code either (1) a
    copy of the Corresponding Source for all the software in the
    product that is covered by this License, on a durable physical
    medium customarily used for software interchange, for a price no
    more than your reasonable cost of physically performing this
    conveying of source, or (2) access to copy the
    Corresponding Source from a network server at no charge.
    c) Convey individual copies of the object code with a copy of the
    written offer to provide the Corresponding Source.  This
    alternative is allowed only occasionally and noncommercially, and
    only if you received the object code with such an offer, in accord
    with subsection 6b.
    d) Convey the object code by offering access from a designated
    place (gratis or for a charge), and offer equivalent access to the
    Corresponding Source in the same way through the same place at no
    further charge.  You need not require recipients to copy the
    Corresponding Source along with the object code.  If the place to
    copy the object code is a network server, the Corresponding Source
    may be on a different server (operated by you or a third party)
    that supports equivalent copying facilities, provided you maintain
    clear directions next to the object code saying where to find the
    Corresponding Source.  Regardless of what server hosts the
    Corresponding Source, you remain obligated to ensure that it is
    available for as long as needed to satisfy these requirements.
    e) Convey the object code using peer-to-peer transmission, provided
    you inform other peers where the object code and Corresponding
    Source of the work are being offered to the general public at no
    charge under subsection 6d.
  A separable portion of the object code, whose source code is excluded
 from the Corresponding Source as a System Library, need not be
 included in conveying the object code work.
  A "User Product" is either (1) a "consumer product", which means any
 tangible personal property which is normally used for personal, family,
 or household purposes, or (2) anything designed or sold for incorporation
 into a dwelling.  In determining whether a product is a consumer product,
 doubtful cases shall be resolved in favor of coverage.  For a particular
 product received by a particular user, "normally used" refers to a
 typical or common use of that class of product, regardless of the status
 of the particular user or of the way in which the particular user
 actually uses, or expects or is expected to use, the product.  A product
 is a consumer product regardless of whether the product has substantial
 commercial, industrial or non-consumer uses, unless such uses represent
 the only significant mode of use of the product.
  "Installation Information" for a User Product means any methods,
 procedures, authorization keys, or other information required to install
 and execute modified versions of a covered work in that User Product from
 a modified version of its Corresponding Source.  The information must
 suffice to ensure that the continued functioning of the modified object
 code is in no case prevented or interfered with solely because
 modification has been made.
  If you convey an object code work under this section in, or with, or
 specifically for use in, a User Product, and the conveying occurs as
 part of a transaction in which the right of possession and use of the
 User Product is transferred to the recipient in perpetuity or for a
 fixed term (regardless of how the transaction is characterized), the
 Corresponding Source conveyed under this section must be accompanied
 by the Installation Information.  But this requirement does not apply
 if neither you nor any third party retains the ability to install
 modified object code on the User Product (for example, the work has
 been installed in ROM).
  The requirement to provide Installation Information does not include a
 requirement to continue to provide support service, warranty, or updates
 for a work that has been modified or installed by the recipient, or for
 the User Product in which it has been modified or installed.  Access to a
 network may be denied when the modification itself materially and
 adversely affects the operation of the network or violates the rules and
 protocols for communication across the network.
  Corresponding Source conveyed, and Installation Information provided,
 in accord with this section must be in a format that is publicly
 documented (and with an implementation available to the public in
 source code form), and must require no special password or key for
 unpacking, reading or copying.
  7. Additional Terms.
  "Additional permissions" are terms that supplement the terms of this
 License by making exceptions from one or more of its conditions.
 Additional permissions that are applicable to the entire Program shall
 be treated as though they were included in this License, to the extent
 that they are valid under applicable law.  If additional permissions
 apply only to part of the Program, that part may be used separately
 under those permissions, but the entire Program remains governed by
 this License without regard to the additional permissions.
  When you convey a copy of a covered work, you may at your option
 remove any additional permissions from that copy, or from any part of
 it.  (Additional permissions may be written to require their own
 removal in certain cases when you modify the work.)  You may place
 additional permissions on material, added by you to a covered work,
 for which you have or can give appropriate copyright permission.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, for material you
 add to a covered work, you may (if authorized by the copyright holders of
 that material) supplement the terms of this License with terms:
    a) Disclaiming warranty or limiting liability differently from the
    terms of sections 15 and 16 of this License; or
    b) Requiring preservation of specified reasonable legal notices or
    author attributions in that material or in the Appropriate Legal
    Notices displayed by works containing it; or
    c) Prohibiting misrepresentation of the origin of that material, or
    requiring that modified versions of such material be marked in
    reasonable ways as different from the original version; or
    d) Limiting the use for publicity purposes of names of licensors or
    authors of the material; or
    e) Declining to grant rights under trademark law for use of some
    trade names, trademarks, or service marks; or
    f) Requiring indemnification of licensors and authors of that
    material by anyone who conveys the material (or modified versions of
    it) with contractual assumptions of liability to the recipient, for
    any liability that these contractual assumptions directly impose on
    those licensors and authors.
  All other non-permissive additional terms are considered "further
 restrictions" within the meaning of section 10.  If the Program as you
 received it, or any part of it, contains a notice stating that it is
 governed by this License along with a term that is a further
 restriction, you may remove that term.  If a license document contains
 a further restriction but permits relicensing or conveying under this
 License, you may add to a covered work material governed by the terms
 of that license document, provided that the further restriction does
 not survive such relicensing or conveying.
  If you add terms to a covered work in accord with this section, you
 must place, in the relevant source files, a statement of the
 additional terms that apply to those files, or a notice indicating
 where to find the applicable terms.
  Additional terms, permissive or non-permissive, may be stated in the
 form of a separately written license, or stated as exceptions;
 the above requirements apply either way.
  8. Termination.
  You may not propagate or modify a covered work except as expressly
 provided under this License.  Any attempt otherwise to propagate or
 modify it is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under
 this License (including any patent licenses granted under the third
 paragraph of section 11).
  However, if you cease all violation of this License, then your
 license from a particular copyright holder is reinstated (a)
 provisionally, unless and until the copyright holder explicitly and
 finally terminates your license, and (b) permanently, if the copyright
 holder fails to notify you of the violation by some reasonable means
 prior to 60 days after the cessation.
  Moreover, your license from a particular copyright holder is
 reinstated permanently if the copyright holder notifies you of the
 violation by some reasonable means, this is the first time you have
 received notice of violation of this License (for any work) from that
 copyright holder, and you cure the violation prior to 30 days after
 your receipt of the notice.
  Termination of your rights under this section does not terminate the
 licenses of parties who have received copies or rights from you under
 this License.  If your rights have been terminated and not permanently
 reinstated, you do not qualify to receive new licenses for the same
 material under section 10.
  9. Acceptance Not Required for Having Copies.
  You are not required to accept this License in order to receive or
 run a copy of the Program.  Ancillary propagation of a covered work
 occurring solely as a consequence of using peer-to-peer transmission
 to receive a copy likewise does not require acceptance.  However,
 nothing other than this License grants you permission to propagate or
 modify any covered work.  These actions infringe copyright if you do
 not accept this License.  Therefore, by modifying or propagating a
 covered work, you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so.
  10. Automatic Licensing of Downstream Recipients.
  Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
 receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
 propagate that work, subject to this License.  You are not responsible
 for enforcing compliance by third parties with this License.
  An "entity transaction" is a transaction transferring control of an
 organization, or substantially all assets of one, or subdividing an
 organization, or merging organizations.  If propagation of a covered
 work results from an entity transaction, each party to that
 transaction who receives a copy of the work also receives whatever
 licenses to the work the party's predecessor in interest had or could
 give under the previous paragraph, plus a right to possession of the
 Corresponding Source of the work from the predecessor in interest, if
 the predecessor has it or can get it with reasonable efforts.
  You may not impose any further restrictions on the exercise of the
 rights granted or affirmed under this License.  For example, you may
 not impose a license fee, royalty, or other charge for exercise of
 rights granted under this License, and you may not initiate litigation
 (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that
 any patent claim is infringed by making, using, selling, offering for
 sale, or importing the Program or any portion of it.
  11. Patents.
  A "contributor" is a copyright holder who authorizes use under this
 License of the Program or a work on which the Program is based.  The
 work thus licensed is called the contributor's "contributor version".
  A contributor's "essential patent claims" are all patent claims
 owned or controlled by the contributor, whether already acquired or
 hereafter acquired, that would be infringed by some manner, permitted
 by this License, of making, using, or selling its contributor version,
 but do not include claims that would be infringed only as a
 consequence of further modification of the contributor version.  For
 purposes of this definition, "control" includes the right to grant
 patent sublicenses in a manner consistent with the requirements of
 this License.
  Each contributor grants you a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free
 patent license under the contributor's essential patent claims, to
 make, use, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise run, modify and
 propagate the contents of its contributor version.
  In the following three paragraphs, a "patent license" is any express
 agreement or commitment, however denominated, not to enforce a patent
 (such as an express permission to practice a patent or covenant not to
 sue for patent infringement).  To "grant" such a patent license to a
 party means to make such an agreement or commitment not to enforce a
 patent against the party.
  If you convey a covered work, knowingly relying on a patent license,
 and the Corresponding Source of the work is not available for anyone
 to copy, free of charge and under the terms of this License, through a
 publicly available network server or other readily accessible means,
 then you must either (1) cause the Corresponding Source to be so
 available, or (2) arrange to deprive yourself of the benefit of the
 patent license for this particular work, or (3) arrange, in a manner
 consistent with the requirements of this License, to extend the patent
 license to downstream recipients.  "Knowingly relying" means you have
 actual knowledge that, but for the patent license, your conveying the
 covered work in a country, or your recipient's use of the covered work
 in a country, would infringe one or more identifiable patents in that
 country that you have reason to believe are valid.
  If, pursuant to or in connection with a single transaction or
 arrangement, you convey, or propagate by procuring conveyance of, a
 covered work, and grant a patent license to some of the parties
 receiving the covered work authorizing them to use, propagate, modify
 or convey a specific copy of the covered work, then the patent license
 you grant is automatically extended to all recipients of the covered
 work and works based on it.
  A patent license is "discriminatory" if it does not include within
 the scope of its coverage, prohibits the exercise of, or is
 conditioned on the non-exercise of one or more of the rights that are
 specifically granted under this License.  You may not convey a covered
 work if you are a party to an arrangement with a third party that is
 in the business of distributing software, under which you make payment
 to the third party based on the extent of your activity of conveying
 the work, and under which the third party grants, to any of the
 parties who would receive the covered work from you, a discriminatory
 patent license (a) in connection with copies of the covered work
 conveyed by you (or copies made from those copies), or (b) primarily
 for and in connection with specific products or compilations that
 contain the covered work, unless you entered into that arrangement,
 or that patent license was granted, prior to 28 March 2007.
  Nothing in this License shall be construed as excluding or limiting
 any implied license or other defenses to infringement that may
 otherwise be available to you under applicable patent law.
  12. No Surrender of Others' Freedom.
  If conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
 otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
 excuse you from the conditions of this License.  If you cannot convey a
 covered work so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
 License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may
 not convey it at all.  For example, if you agree to terms that obligate you
 to collect a royalty for further conveying from those to whom you convey
 the Program, the only way you could satisfy both those terms and this
 License would be to refrain entirely from conveying the Program.
  13. Use with the GNU Affero General Public License.
  Notwithstanding any other provision of this License, you have
 permission to link or combine any covered work with a work licensed
 under version 3 of the GNU Affero General Public License into a single
 combined work, and to convey the resulting work.  The terms of this
 License will continue to apply to the part which is the covered work,
 but the special requirements of the GNU Affero General Public License,
 section 13, concerning interaction through a network will apply to the
 combination as such.
  14. Revised Versions of this License.
  The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of
 the GNU General Public License from time to time.  Such new versions will
 be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to
 address new problems or concerns.
  Each version is given a distinguishing version number.  If the
 Program specifies that a certain numbered version of the GNU General
 Public License "or any later version" applies to it, you have the
 option of following the terms and conditions either of that numbered
 version or of any later version published by the Free Software
 Foundation.  If the Program does not specify a version number of the
 GNU General Public License, you may choose any version ever published
 by the Free Software Foundation.
  If the Program specifies that a proxy can decide which future
 versions of the GNU General Public License can be used, that proxy's
 public statement of acceptance of a version permanently authorizes you
 to choose that version for the Program.
  Later license versions may give you additional or different
 permissions.  However, no additional obligations are imposed on any
 author or copyright holder as a result of your choosing to follow a
 later version.
  15. Disclaimer of Warranty.
  THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
 APPLICABLE LAW.  EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
 HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY
 OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
 THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
 PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM
 IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF
 ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
  16. Limitation of Liability.
  IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING
 WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MODIFIES AND/OR CONVEYS
 THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY
 GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE
 USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
 DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD
 PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS),
 EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
 SUCH DAMAGES.
  17. Interpretation of Sections 15 and 16.
  If the disclaimer of warranty and limitation of liability provided
 above cannot be given local legal effect according to their terms,
 reviewing courts shall apply local law that most closely approximates
 an absolute waiver of all civil liability in connection with the
 Program, unless a warranty or assumption of liability accompanies a
 copy of the Program in return for a fee.
                     END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS
            How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs
  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
 possible use to the public, the best way to achieve this is to make it

 # Varia website
-> https://varia.zone
+TO BE UPDATED !
-## Hackity Hack Hack
+## Cloning
-```
+The folder 'plugins' is linked to the Pelican project '[pelican-plugins](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/)' repository. To clone both the varia.website and pelican-plugins repository, add the --recurse-submodules option in your git clone command:
 $ git clone https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/varia.website.git
 $ cd varia.website
 $ make
 ```
-Visit the website at [localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000)
+`git clone https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/varia.website.git --recurse-submodules`
 ## Our Tools
-The Varia website is made with Pelican, a static site generator written in
+## Install
-Python. This means that the website is first generated on a computer (using
+
-Python, Jinja and Pelican) into a set of html pages, files and images. This set
+$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
-of documents is then uploaded to the server.
+
 ## Start
 You can make use of the makefile, for example by running the following command to start a python server:
 $ make devserver
 Visit the website at localhost:8000
 ## Update submodules
 We are currently using two submodules:
 * pelican-plugins ([https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins))
 * plugins-custom ([https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/plugins-custom](https://git.vvvvvvaria.org/varia/plugins-custom)) 
 To update these submodules within your (already) cloned repository, first init the submodule, and then update it:
    cd /path/to/submodule 
    git submodule init
    git submodule update
 One of the things that Pelican uses is _plugins_. They are used to add extra
 features to the generation process of the website. In this repository there is
 a folder called 'pelican-plugins' and another one called 'plugins-custom'. The
 first one, 'pelican-plugins', is linked to the offical collection of plugins from the
 Pelican project
 [pelican-plugins](https://github.com/getpelican/pelican-plugins/). The other
 one, 'plugins-custom', consists of plugins that we wrote ourself.
 ## Posting Content
 We're using Pelican to generate a static website. The main way to add content to the website is by making 'posts' in the folder `content`.

 Het "Centrum Voor Alledaagse Technologie daagt jou uit om gezamelijk mee te doen aan een nader te bepalen Massive Online Open Course (MOOC).
 Deze MOOCS, die worden aangeboden door online platforms zoals Coursera creeeren een situatie waarin iedereen die zich niet universitair onderwijs kan veroorloven toch wordt aangespoord om thuis verder door te leren. Deze goedkope manier van zelfoptimalisering biedt behalve de verlokking van nieuwe kennis ook de hoop op (her)nieuwde carrieremogelijkheden. Echter, slechts weinigen weten dezen succesvol af te ronden. Door de vorm van het onderwijs kunnen weinigen zich de tijd en beheersing naast hun dagelijkse drukke bestaan veroorloven.
 Om de problemen die bij deze vorm van leren te behandelen heeft CAT besloten een laagdrempelige avondschool op te zetten onder de naam ‘De Samenscholing’. Deelnemers kunnen daarmee het isolement van deze cursussen doorbreken door gezamenlijk een MOOC te volgen. Daarbij maken we met elkaar een leeromgeving die kritisch en non-individualistisch is. Waarbij we nieuwe dingen leren om het leren zelf centraal staat en niet vanwege de eventuele praktische economische motieven. Deelnemers hoeven niet langer alleen passief en geisoleerd thuis te zitten, maar kunnen eindelijk gezamenlijk discussieren over de inhoud en de vorm van de cursus, maar ook over de cursus.

 Title:re: social media critique: next steps?

 summary: In january of 2018 a discussion on [Nettime](https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-1801/msg00045.html) took place on the question what next steps for social media critique could be. As criticism of large social media platforms becomes increasingly commonplace in popular media and even from within Silicon Valley itself, the discussion centered around the question of what the role of critical communities like nettime could be. Since the discussion missed some context on recent developments from the non-GAFA/Free Software developments in this field media I've replied with some comments.
 In january of 2018 a discussion on [Nettime](https://nettime.org/Lists-Archives/nettime-l-1801/msg00045.html) took place on the question what next steps for social media critique could be. As criticism of large social media platforms becomes increasingly commonplace in popular media and even from within Silicon Valley itself, the discussion centered around the question of what the role of critical communities like nettime could be. Since the discussion missed some context on recent developments from the non-GAFA[ref]Google/Amazon/Facebook/Apple[/ref]/Free Software developments in this field media I've replied with some comments.
 > This is in the end what Silicon Valley tries to prevent at all cost:
 > resistance and exodus. How can such a momentum be unleashed?
 So aside from the discussion of who listens (or didn't listen) to whose opinion it can be interesting to have a closer look at action and momentum.
 Three projects caught my attention and I think could be an interesting case for this 'next steps' discussion:
 Mastodon (2016) en Conversations (2014) and Peertube (2015)[ref]These are the dates of the project's source code first appearing in public, they are still actively updated and used.[/ref]
 All three are projects that during the past twelve months have somehow reinvigorated (the work on, attention for) their underlying protocols. Protocols that have been proclaimed dead or unsuccessful for many years. And probably will be for more to come.
 The first one, Mastodon [ref][https://joinmastodon.org/](https://joinmastodon.org/)[/ref], you may have read about or even tried out. It is essentially a twitter clone / alternative. Technically it is based on Ostatus, which is a protocol to distribute status updates across networks. Ostatus is the protocol that powered early 'alternative 2.0 style' social networks such as Friendica and Lorea. The latter was a product of and important site of organization for the Spanish Indignados and 15M movements. Mastodon also supports ActivityPub which is the likely successor of Ostatus as a protocol for
 further ongoing work on so-called federated publishing. The interesting thing is that Mastodon managed to attract a good chunk of the recent Twitter refugees. These where mostly voices which aren't white, loud or extreme right wing and for those reasons felt themselves increasingly out of place on twitter. Mastodon communities managed to involve so many of these people by focusing on developing tools for community moderation, content warnings and the ability to block other instances in the network. As a result (the english language) Mastodon became a site that is predominantly populated by the queer, PoC, left and artistic, or anyone that would otherwise be at risk of being on the receiving end of the Gamergate-style interactions on twitter. The decentralized nature of
 Mastodon has created a culture of 'thematic mastodon servers (see https://instances.social/list) that have become a large part of what makes the network interesting and relevant to its several hundredthousand users.
 Conversations [ref][https://conversations.im](https://conversations.im/)[/ref] is a messaging application that is based on the very old XMPP protocol. This is a chat protocol
 which has at one point also been the underlying technology of both Google and Facebook chat before they closed it down and made it proprietary. From the onset Conversations focused on a combination of user friendliness, security and ultimately visual design to be on par with mobile messengers such as whatsapp and telegram. The work of Conversations has reinvigorated the XMPP protocol. Partly because it focused on implementing the double-ratchett encryption algorithm almost immediately after it was open-sourced. This is the modern userfriendly end-to-end encryption algorithm developed by Moxie Marlinspike for Signal and licensed to companies like Whatsapp. Another effect of the work of Conversations is that the decades old protocol has been updated in the span of a few years to work very well for mobile usage. For me one of the interesting aspects of the development of Conversations is the role that modern thinking on UIs, design and user friendliness played in its popularity. This especially becomes apparent in the very technical and awkward world of XMPP software. The developer has mentioned multiple times that he 'bases' his design on that of his GAFA 'competitors'. Apropos tactical media, this project's appropriation of corporate design, yet very clear and solid political stance (see https://gultsch.de/objection.html) leading to an increase in popularity and community involvement is an interesting development.
 Lastly, Peertube [ref][Peertube website](https://github.com/Chocobozzz/PeerTube)[/ref] is an attempt at making the hosting of video content accessible to small organizations. The sheer amount of infrastructure and thus capital required to set up an alternative to the monopoly position of Youtube, forces any project trying to replace Youtube to use peer-to-peer technologies. Peertube does so by trying to implement WebTorrents. Like the older 'BitTorrent' protocol it is based on, WebTorrent tries to mitigate the sheer amount of data and bandwith involved with exchanging online media, by making sure these are streamed from many sources at once. Unlike torrents, which need separate applications, WebTorrents run in familiar web browsers. One could say the conceptual forbearer of this approach was a project called Popcorn Time (2014). An app that convinced many with its good UI and design to do 'Netflix-like' streaming on top of the torrent network. Again this is something that lead to a reinvigoration of the decaying (use-wise) torrenting protocol. (I'd also argue though, that Popcorn Time was simultaneously the nail in the coffin for torrenting because of the individualistic streaming mentality built into it. This also meant the definite end of what remained of -collectivist?- seeding/sharing culture on public trackers.)
 The position of the Peertube as a viable alternative or successful project is the most tenuous of the three. However, one might argue that our definition of success in this context should also be readjusted - away from the Silicon Valley, venture capitalist sense of success using metrics like usage counts, market cap, patent value etc. By nature of being built upon open, compatible and federative technologies, developments happening in all three projects could, and probably will, end up supporting one another. They do so to the extent that one project could even become an integral part of the other. As an example both Mastodon and Peertube use the same underlying ActivityPub, allowing one to become the underlying video delivery function of the other. As was the case with Friendica, Lorea and Mastodon, projects might stop but then become stepping stones and inspirations for newer generations of projects. In this sense definitions of success should consider the quality of longer term technological ecosystems within larger socio-political contexts.
 So the striking things for me to take away from these projects are:
 All three projects have managed to reinvigorate 'decaying' protocols in large part through their focus on UX, language and interestingly design. Which seems to me a huge opportunity for the arts which has been left largely unused in the first round of social media critique. Perhaps the model of artistic production in this domain should move away from the artists being on the forefront, sensing out emerging tendencies and taking the spotlight by creating mostly harmless critical and speculative works around these tendencies. Next steps for artistic social media critique should instead take a much more humble and supportive role contributing expertise, time and exposure to people working in and with these ecosystems.
 All three projects are based on federation. Which is the idea that various actors maki g up a network decide to cooperate in a collective fashion. Distributing responsibility and power as they do so. The future of social media has to be federated or there won't be any (for those privileged enough to retreat..). I think the case of Mastodon, where
 servers in the Ostatus federation are experimenting with blocking hostile content altogether from other servers in the federation (while still maintaining technical compatibility) are interesting experiments. For one, the debates over on-line harassment and fake news show that the grand 'electronic agoras', where one can find anyone and everyone
 clearly aren't conducive to productive interchange of ideas. Perhaps smallish, self caring communities are a good answer to the profit driven model of infinite interconnectedness.
 Lastly, I think it is no coincidence that two out of three of the projects have Germans leading development and all three are European based projects. I guess the following is anecdotal and partial evidence. Yet, I've not seen Google and Facebook run full page advertorials in leading daily newspapers except in the German ones. Ostensibly, part of
 an attempt on their side to prevent mass user exodus out of discomfort with the platform. It is in part German historical sensibility that leads to this kind of sensitivity on the issues of privacy, but it is also a sensitivity that is actively nurtured in public discourse. No Silicon Valley apologies are required for there to be scepsis. At the
 same time the European context apparently provides good enough living conditions for people to risk investing time in this kind of work. Risk which is also partly mitigated by initiatives such as German Prototype Fund and other European funding streams. However, testament to the fact that these projects have healthy communities and are part of wider ecosystems of support is that all projects finance themselves from diverse revenue streams, user contributions being the main one.
 So I'd say next steps for a social media critique would be to be more involved in (and involve more) these communities. To use positions of power to create opportunities for people working on these projects. While the center of development of these projects is Western-Europe they have many contributors outside of Europe as well, that could benefit even more from such opportunities. At the same time, doing close readings of the technical underpinnings of these media will also improve understanding of what is (not) going on. Now obviously all this was a news flash from within a very specific filter bubble, but actually from there 2017 was a very promising year for alternative media.
 > I still believe in vital methods to mass delete Facebook accounts.
 I'd say start doing so, but help your friends. Use your network effect
 to transition together to different kind of media. This is slow and
 laborious so mutual support is important. The time is always right, but
 now more than ever.

 Century 21 Calling is terug! Wederom tonen we de industriële archieffilms, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen hebben gevormd en houden deze tegen het licht van vandaag.
 Op deze avond zullen we de documentaire "Crystal Go To War" uit 1943 vertonen. Gemaakt door U.S. Army  Signal Corps in 1943, toont de film de processen die kwartskristallen moeten doorlopen voordat ze klaar zijn om in radio's en communicatieapparatuur te worden ingebracht.
 Kwartskristallen maken al tientallen jaren deel uit van het daglijks leven en vormen sinds de ontdekking van hun piëzo-elektrische eigenschappen in de jaren 1880 een belangrijk onderdeel van onze moderne technologie.
 Voorafgaand aan de screening zal er een korte introductie worden gegeven van het gebruik van kristallen in technologie. Een mooi begin van het tweede seizoen van Century 21 Calling!
 "Century 21 Calling" is een reeks screenings die is geïnitieerd door het collectief [Save_as]((http://www.save-as.media/)) en wordt gehost door Varia.

 With Donald Trump's eagerness to buy Greenland, a new spotlight have been put on this island. However, it is not something new for Greenland to be in the centre of international geopolitics. With the melting of the ice sheets, new trade routes opening and a huge amount of mineral, oil and gas deposits, a new rush for the artic has started.
 In the late 1950s, during the height of the Cold War, the US military constructed a secret base in the arctic, hidden from the populations of Greenland and Denmark. This base was a nuclear power facility and part of the secret **Project Iceworm**. During this edition of **Century 21 Calling** we will be screening the documentary **Camp Century**, which is about the construction of the base "Camp Century", the first of many envisioned bases on Greenland, to give you more context about the topic. Before the lecture there will be a lecture by David Young on the topic of Greenland, American politics and control and command strutter of the cold war.
 **David Young** is a researcher interested in archiving media technologies, the history of computing, and the discourses of defence research in the United States during the Cold War. He is currently a M3C/AHRC-funded doctoral researcher at the University of Nottingham; his PhD topic is an examination of the technological administration of command and control systems, the forms of disciplinary practices they depend on in order to operate, and the strategic rationalities which shape their development over time. He has a background in digital media art, and has collaborated with artists, designers, and scientists in the production of experimental, research-oriented artworks funded by the Arts Trust Scotland, New Scotland's Alt-W award, and Creative Scotland.
 **Century 21 Calling** is a series of screenings initiated by the [Save_as](http://www.save-as.media/) collective and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam. Together, we take a look at the archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold it up to the light of the present.

 Mede dankzij de gretigheid waarmee Donald Trump Groenland wou kopen, staat dit eiland opnieuw in de schijnwerpers. Het is echter niets nieuws voor Groenland om onder de aandacht van de internationale geopolitiek te komen. Met het smelten van de ijskappen, het openen van nieuwe handelsroutes en een enorme hoeveelheid minerale, olie- en gasafzettingen, is een nieuwe stormloop op het poolgebied een feit.
 In de late jaren 1950, op het hoogtepunt van de Koude Oorlog, bouwde het Amerikaanse leger een geheime basis in het noordpoolgebied, verborgen voor de bevolking van Groenland en Denemarken. Deze basis werd een kerncentrale en was onderdeel van het geheime ** Project Iceworm **.Tijdens deze editie van ** Century 21 Calling ** zullen we de documentaire ** Camp Century ** bekijken om meer context te geven over dit onderwerp. De film gaat over de bouw van de basis "Camp Century", de eerste van vele voorgestelde bases op Groenland. Voor de lezing geeft David Young een lezing over Groenland, de Amerikaanse politiek en de controle en commando strutter van de koude oorlog.
 ** David Young ** is een onderzoeker die geïnteresseerd is in het archiveren van mediatechnologieën, de geschiedenis van informatica en het discours van defensie-onderzoek in de Verenigde Staten tijdens de Koude Oorlog. Hij is momenteel een M3C / AHRC-gefinancierd doctoraatsonderzoeker aan de Universiteit van Nottingham; zijn doctoraatsthema is een onderzoek naar de technologische administratie van commando- en controlesystemen, de vormen van disciplinaire praktijken waarvan ze afhankelijk zijn om te opereren, en de strategische rationaliteiten die hun ontwikkeling in de loop van de tijd bepalen. Hij heeft een achtergrond in digitale mediakunst en heeft samengewerkt met kunstenaars, ontwerpers en wetenschappers bij de productie van experimentele, op onderzoek gerichte kunstwerken gefinancierd door de Arts Trust Scotland, de Alt-W Award van New Scotland en Creative Scotland.
 ** Century 21 Calling ** is een initiatief van het collectief [Save_as](http://www.save-as.media/) en wordt georganiseerd bij Varia in Rotterdam. Samen kijken we naar de industriële archieffilms, infomercials, tv-rapporten en documentaires die in het verleden ons beeld van de toekomst hebben gevormd, en gebruiken deze om het heden te doorgronden.

 Century 21 Calling is back; still showing archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, TV reports and historical documentaries that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold them up to the light of the present.
 This evening we will be screening the documentary Crystal Go To War from 1943. Created by the U.S. Army Signal Corps in 1943, it shows the processes that quartz crystals have to go through before they are ready to be inserted into radios and communication equipment.
 Quartz crystals have been part of human life for decades and since the discovery of its piezoelectric properties in the 1880's it has been a key component in modern technology.
 Before the screening, there will be a small introduction the usage of crystals in technology. So join us on the 24 for the first screening of the 2 seasons of Century 21 Calling!

 Join us for an image roulette session: together with Lìdia Pereira, Silvio Lorusso will randomly dig into his research directories to exhume entreprecarious memes, illustrations, screenshots, artworks, etc.
 Entrepreneur or precarious worker? These are the terms of a cognitive dissonance that turns everyone’s life into a shaky project in perennial start-up phase. [Silvio Lorusso](https://silviolorusso.com/) guides us through the entreprecariat, a world where change is natural and healthy, whatever it may bring. A world populated by motivational posters, productivity tools, mobile offices and self-help techniques. A world in which a mix of entrepreneurial ideology and widespread precarity is what regulates professional social media, online marketplaces for self-employment and crowdfunding platforms for personal needs. The result? A life in permanent beta, with sometimes tragic implications.
 “A compelling and relentless j’accuse: debunking the social and political myths that push an increasing number of persons to perform in the entrepreneurship circus — with no safety nets.” — Antonio Casilli, author of En attendant les robots, 2019

 Floppy Totaal bezoekt Varia voor een tweede programma gewijd aan hedendaagse diskette cultuur. Bij "Floppy Totaal: Double Density" kun je 's middags tijdens een workshop samen met de leden van het muzieklabel Floppy Kick een nieuwe floppy release opnemen en publiceren. Het daaropvolgende avondprogramma is tot de nok toe gevuld met optredens van Kisszántó en Eoforwine, presentaties en gesprekken met Joak en Jason Scott en een bijdrage op lange afstand van Michael Ridge.
 De nadruk van dit evenement ligt op het concept van de diskette als comfortfood in een "future / present shocked" tijdperk. Op welke manier helpt de omgang met diskettes ons om te overleven in een tijd die vooral wordt gekenmerkt door "nieuwe media" en "planned obsolescence"? Bevat de diskette meer inhoud dan enkel 1,44 MB aan data? Op 19 oktober zoeken we het uit!
 * workshop: 14:00 / gratis
 * avondprogramma: 20:00 / 5 euro
 Full Program (in het Engels):
 Part 1 of Floppy Totaal @ Varia (14:00-18:00) is free and consists of a special Floppy Kick workshop and a conversation.
 Part 2 of Floppy Totaal: Magnetic Flux starts at 20:00 and has tickets for sale that can be purchased at the door for 5 euro's each. The event consists of a series of talks, performances and contributions by Eoforwine, Kisszántó, Michael Ridge, Joak and Jason Scott. 
 * Floppy Kick Workshop
 Floppy Kick Records is a not-for-profit, floppy-only label that was formed in Budapest in 2013. All its releases are handmade and any "income" they produce goes straight into future releases. They take a non-political, yet critical position by explicitally rejecting any racism, sexism, homophobic or other forms of radicalism on their releases, choosing to instead focus on the beauty of sound. This can be in any style;  experimental, noise, ambient, musique concrète, dark sounds, hnw, avantgarde, field recordings, industrial, power electronics, lo-fi, grindcore, or anything  interesting. They believe in physical formats and respect their collectors. During their workshop at Floppy Totaal you can contribute to Floppy Kick by helping out with the recording and releasing of a brand new floppy release.

 * Floppy Totaal
 Floppy Totaal is a Rotterdam based initiative by Niek Hilkmann, Thomas Walskaar and Lídia Pereira that investigates the reuse and re-purposing of 'outdated' technology as a cultural phenomenon. By examining the contemporary usage of the iconic floppy diskette, they hope to assess the way past technology is integrated into our culture today, as well as its future potential. The goal of the project is to inject the debate surrounding obsolescent media with new enthusiasm and stimulate a critical approach to the topic with the help of extensive field research in the realm of the floppy disk.

 A new season has arrived; time for some fresh concerts at Varia! Kicking of the second half of 2019, we organize an event where three stirring acts will show their craft.
 Able Noise is a baritone guitar/drum duo that is based in The Hague and Athens and consists of Alex and George. They indecisively balance themselves on the border between pop rock and noisy free jazz. With the help of tapes and by employing less consistent ways of playing their instruments, they create a somewhat minimal and rather visual musical performance.
 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0)
 Piyoji is the monikor of Dutch artist Rik Möhlmann. The music he makes has a distinct, liberating sound, characterized by a modest and direct way of recording musical sessions in which different textures are explored. Sounds appear from left to right, as if hidden behind trees or emerging from rivers. Möhlmann uses his eccentric and inquisitive approach to music to make songs that don't necessarily behave in a narrative way. Instead, his tracks expose themselves like little paintings
 [https://soundcloud.com/piyojo?fbclid=IwAR3Dj-IZUWjOgQXt2bpofTPCV4riTPNSgouNV1D3tuyvslAk4Nqc_BO6xuE](https://soundcloud.com/piyojo?fbclid=IwAR3Dj-IZUWjOgQXt2bpofTPCV4riTPNSgouNV1D3tuyvslAk4Nqc_BO6xuE)
 Goldblum is an eye blinding duo from Middelland messing around with flea market cassette tapes and analogue synthesizers. Expect fragments of golden oldies, crippled rhythms and synthesized sounds buried in tape hiss. The duo has cut their teeth in acts like Sweat Tongue and Red Brut.

 Een nieuw seizoen is aangebroken; tijd voor een nieuwe concertreeks bij Varia! De tweede helft van 2019 begint meteen goed; met drie opwindende acts die allen hun kunsten bij ons zullen tonen:
 Able Noise is een bariton gitaar / drum duo, gevestigd in Den Haag en Athene en bestaande uit Alex en George. Ze balanceren op de grens tussen poprock en lawaaierige free jazz. Met behulp van tapes en misbruik van hun instrumenten, creëren ze een ietwat minimale en vrij visuele muzikale beleving.
 [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MacLS1n0l_0)
 Piyoji is de naam waaronder  de Nederlandse kunstenaar Rik Möhlmann onderscheidende bevrijdende geluiden maakt die worden gekenmerkt door bescheiden, doch directe texturen. Geluiden verplaatsen zich in zijn muziek van links naar rechts, alsof ze zich verschuilen achter bomen of opduiken uit rivieren. Möhlmann gebruikt zijn excentrieke en nieuwsgierige benadering van muziek om liedjes te maken die zich niet noodzakelijk verhalend gedragen. In plaats daarvan openbaren ze zich als kleine schilderijen
 [https://soundcloud.com/piyojo?fbclid=IwAR3Dj-IZUWjOgQXt2bpofTPCV4riTPNSgouNV1D3tuyvslAk4Nqc_BO6xuE](https://soundcloud.com/piyojo?fbclid=IwAR3Dj-IZUWjOgQXt2bpofTPCV4riTPNSgouNV1D3tuyvslAk4Nqc_BO6xuE)
 Goldblum is een oogverblindend duo uit Middelland dat rommelt met cassettes van de rommelmarkt en analoge synthesizers. Verwacht fragmenten van gouden oudjes, kreupele ritmes en gesynthetiseerde geluiden, begraven in sissende tape. Het duo heeft hun tanden eerder geslepen in acts als Sweat Tongue en Red Brut.

 *In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.*
 *In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!*
 **15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation**
 *Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.*
 **19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet**
 *We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?*

 *In de Regio Rotterdam/Den Haag zijn er veel problemen op het gebied van betaalbare woonruimte vinden en houden. Wonen is onzeker en duur, en dat lijkt alleen maar erger te worden. Gezien deze situatie leek het ons goed idee om een huurdersspreekuur te houden. Tijdens het huurdersspreekuur kunnen specialisten je vragen beantwoorden over wonen en uitgezet worden, huurrecht / -onrecht.*
 *Daarnaast zijn we bezig met het opzetten van een lokale afdeling van BPWérs in Rotterdam en in Den Haag. Heb je zin en tijd om mee te doen? of heb vragen of ideeën omtrent dit onderwerp? Wil je met anderen van gedachten wisselen over waar je mee bezig bent op dit gebied? Wees dan van harte welkom!*

 **19.30-21:00: BPW meet and greet**

 summary: Join us on Monday the 23rd of September for an afternoon or evening of discussion, co-learning and reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.
 Dear all,
 We are very happy to announce that a second *tenant consultation* plus *meet and greet* by Bond Precaire Woonvormen (BPW) will take place at Varia on Monday the 23rd of September. You are welcome to join us for an afternoon and evening of discussion, co-learning, reflection on the housing situation in Rotterdam, our rights as tenants and how we can support each other to work towards solutions for more safe, secure and affordable housing.
 BPW is a solidarity movement organised by volunteers who support each other based on the conviction that housing is a fundamental right that must be protected.
 SoliGreets,
 Varia

 *In the Rotterdam/The Hague region there are many problems in finding and keeping affordable housing. Living has become precarious and expensive. As the BPW is relatively unknown in this region, even though there are a couple of members active in this area, we thought it would be a good idea to organize a tenant consultation in the city of Rotterdam.*
 *In addition, we are setting up a local department of BPW's in Rotterdam and The Hague. Do you have the time and would you like to participate? Or do you have questions or ideas about this subject? Then, please feel welcome to join us!*
 **15:00 - 17:00, Tenant consultation**
 *Do you have any questions about (temporary) rent, evictions or unreasonable demands from landlords, and do you want to know what your rights are? During our tenant consultation, experienced people from BPW can inform you about what you can do in such a situation.*
 **19.30 - 21:00, BPW meets and greet**
 *We give a short presentation about the activities that the BPW has undertaken to demand housing security for residents. What methods and goals does the BPW have and what can we do together to organise ourselves? Are you interested in participating in a local department of BPW in the The Hague/Rotterdam region?*

 During the fifth screening of our Century 21 Calling series we will take a look at how to stay safe in an insecure world. Rules change over the decades; What was once seen as a completely safe thing to do, is now extremely deadly. How do you stay safe in the traffic? What are the dangers around the office? Where can your children play safely? These questions and many more will be addressed during this informative evening. 
 During “Century 21 Calling”, an series of screenings started by the collective [Save_as](http://www.save-as.media/) and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam, we observe the archival industrial films, corporate informercials, tv reports and historical documentaries that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold them up to the light of the present.

 Tijdens de vijfde vertoning van onze Century 21 Calling-serie leren we hoe we veilig kunnen blijven in een onzekere wereld. Regels veranderen in de loop van de decennia; Wat ooit als volkomen veilig werd gezien, is nu simpelweg dodelijk. Hoe blijf je veilig in het verkeer? Wat zijn de gevaren op kantoor? Waar kunnen je kinderen veilig spelen? Deze vragen en vele andere komen tijdens deze informatieve avond aan bod.
 Tijdens "Century 21 Calling", een reeks screenings die is geïnitieerd door het collectief [Save_as](http://www.save-as.media/) en wordt gehost door Varia, bekijken we de industriële archieven, bedrijfsinformercials, tv reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen vormden en houden deze tegen het licht van het heden.

 tags: Conversas, informal, meetings
 On the ***6th of February from 19:30 to 21:30***, Varia has the pleasure to host one of the nomadic Conversas evenings.
 Conversas is a series of bi-weekly informal meetings made so that we can get to know each other, share projects, stories or interests. 
 During the event, three Conversadores (those who start the conversation) bring something to share with the gathered group, for thirty minutes each. As the title suggests, Conversas (Conversations in Portuguese) aim at an equal set up from which both the Conversadores and the group benefit. In this series, we are challenging our guests to not use a beamer, try to be creative and use only words and/or other objects to tell their story.
 The three Conversadores for the session at Varia are:
 - Karla de Witte (Dutch Love Letters)
 - Clara Mendes (Nude models, postcolonialism and museums)
 - Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressions around a flag)
 **Karla** is designer and educator of visual arts. <a href="www.facebook.com/pg/dutchloveletters/
 ">DLL</a> started when two mothers met at a colorful schoolyard in Rotterdam. Both born and grown up in different parts of the world, sharing similar memories of New Year's Eve with waffles. Delicate and very thin made with great patience by their grandmothers.
 www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/
 **Clara** has recently moved from Portugal to The Netherlands to pursue her wish to learn more about how art impacts the lives of different people. She will talk about the projects she jumped into throughout her master's program in Arts and Society whilst she was still struggling to find her way around a new city.
 After a 3 month artist residency (State of the City, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), **<a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a>** will present a flag which will be hoisted on top of the varia zone building. His conversation will be filled by digressions about different subjects more or less related to the flag.
 The 13th series of ten <a href="www.facebook.com/conversasrotterdam">Conversas Rotterdam</a> starts on the 7th of November and runs every other Wednesday until the 20th of March. This series is happening in different locations spread through the city of Rotterdam. It is organized by Bérénice Staiger, Constança Saraiva, Marco Aperti, Zahra Said and Sebastian Helbers.
 <a href="www.conversas.net">Conversas</a> is a project initiated in Lisbon by Constança Saraiva and Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Nowadays, it's a project of many people and cities.
 Events are open to all and the entrance is free.

 Op de ***6 februari van 19.30 tot 21.30 uur*** heeft Varia het genoegen om een van de nomadische Conversas-avonden te ontvangen.
 Conversas is een reeks van tweewekelijkse informele ontmoetingen om elkaar te leren kennen, projecten, verhalen of interesses te delen.
 Tijdens het evenement brengen drie Conversadores (degenen die het gesprek beginnen) gedurende dertig minuten elk iets te delen met de verzamelde groep. Zoals de titel al doet vermoeden, streeft Conversas (Conversations in Portuguese) naar een gelijkwaardige opzet waar zowel de Conversadores als de groep baat bij hebben. In deze serie dagen we onze gasten uit om geen beamer te gebruiken, creatief te zijn en alleen woorden en/of andere objecten te gebruiken om hun verhaal te vertellen.
 De drie Conversadores voor de sessie bij Varia zijn dat wel:
 - Karla de Witte (Nederlandse liefdesbrieven)
 - Clara Mendes (Naakt modellen, postkolonialisme en musea)
 - Ludovic Lacreuse (Digressies rond een vlag)
 **Karla** is ontwerper en docent beeldende kunst. <a href="www.facebook.com/pg/dutchloveletters/">DLL</a> begon toen twee moeders elkaar ontmoetten op een kleurrijk schoolplein in Rotterdam. Zowel geboren als opgegroeid in verschillende delen van de wereld, met wafels die soortgelijke herinneringen aan oud en nieuw delen. Delicaat en zeer dun gemaakt met veel geduld door hun grootmoeders.
 www.instagram.com/dutch_love_letters/liefdebrieven/
 **Clara** is onlangs verhuisd van Portugal naar Nederland om haar wens na te streven om meer te weten te komen over de impact van kunst op het leven van verschillende mensen. Ze zal vertellen over de projecten waar ze tijdens haar masteropleiding Kunst en Maatschappij in is gesprongen terwijl ze nog worstelde om haar weg te vinden in een nieuwe stad.
 Na een residentie van 3 maanden (Staat van de Stad, in Paviljoen aan het Water, in Rotterdam), presenteert **<a href="http://ludoviclacreuse.net/">Ludovic</a>** een vlag die bovenop het varia-zonegebouw wordt gehesen. Zijn gesprek wordt gevuld met uitweidingen over verschillende onderwerpen die min of meer met de vlag te maken hebben.
 De 13e serie van tien <a href="www.facebook.com/conversasrotterdam">Conversas Rotterdam</a> begint op 7 november en loopt elke andere woensdag tot 20 maart. Deze serie vindt plaats op verschillende locaties verspreid door de stad Rotterdam. Het wordt georganiseerd door Bérénice Staiger, Constança Saraiva, Marco Aperti, Zahra Said en Sebastian Helbers.
 <a href="www.conversas.net">Conversas</a> is een project geïnitieerd in Lissabon door Constança Saraiva en Mafalda Fernandes, in 2012. Tegenwoordig is het een project van veel mensen en steden.
 Evenementen zijn voor iedereen toegankelijk en de toegang is gratis.

 ## Building and maintaining an off-line digital library
 Bibliotecha is a toolkit to maintain local off-line digital libraries. With it, communities can create and share collections of digital publications in their local area. Technically Bibliotecha relies on a small single board computer (such as a RaspberryPi) running free and open source software to serve digital publications on an open Wi-fi hotspot. Using a laptop, phone or tablet visitors can connect to it and books can be retrieved or donated via the browser. Since it is a low-power device you can power it with a USB powerbank and take it with you everywhere.
 During the workshop we will guide participants through the installation process of a Bilbiotecha node. Participants will get introduced to the open source software stack, working with a RaspberryPi and Calibre the library management tool. This will be followed by a book sharing session and conversation where we exchange knowledge on taking care of a off-line digital community library.
 * At the end of the workshop participants will have a basic working understanding of the command line interface, working with Linux and the RaspberryPi. 
 * In addition participants will get an understanding of the ins and outs of managing collections of digital books. 
 * Last but not least, participants will take home a working Bibliotecha node, ready to distribute books!

 ## Maak en onderhoud een off-line digitale gemeenschapsbibliotheek 
 Bibliotecha is een systeem voor het beheren van off-line digitale bibliotheken. Met Bibliotecha kunnen gemeenschappen collecties van digitale publicaties aanleggen en delen in een op een fysieke locatie. De onderliggende techniek bestaat uit een 'single board computer' (zoals een RaspberryPi) die op basis van vrije software door middel van een speciale open Wi-fi hotspot het mogelijk maakt de collectie in te zien. Gebruikers kunnen met een laptop, telefoon of tablet verbinding maken met deze hotspot en via de browser publicaties uitnemen of doneren. Aangezien het stroomverbruik zeer gering is kan Bibliotecha draaien vanaf een USB powerbank zodat het overal mee te nemen is.
 Tijdens de workshop leren wordt er veel aandacht besteed aan het process van het installeren van Bibliotecha. Zodoende krijg je als deelnemer een grondige introductie in de onderliggende vrije software, het werken met de RaspberryPi en een introductie in Calibre, het de software om je collectie mee te beheren. Het tweede deel van de workshop is een sessie waarin we met elkaar boeken delen en kennis uitwisselen op het gebied van het beginnen en onderhouden van een off-line digitale bibliotheek voor een gemeenschap.
 *Tegen het einde van de workshop hebben deelnemers een grondige introductie gehad in het werken met de 'command line', het werken met Linux-gebaseerde systemen en het werken met de RaspberryPi. 
 *Bovendien zul je de ins- en outs van het beheren van een digitale collectie meekrijgen met o.a metadatabeheer en bestandsformaten. 
 *En niet het minste: deelnemers kunnen een werkende Bibliotecha mee naar huis nemen.

 ## Homebrew server fundamentals
 The homebrewserver.club is part of a larger 'self-hosting' movement where
 people try to host on-line services such as websites, mail, calendars and chat
 themselves. They do so in order to avoid reliance on the corporate services of
 GAFA(google, amazon, facebook, apple), with all the consequences that has. The
 homebrewserver.club takes the 'home' in homebrewserver.club literally and the
 'self' in self-hosting figuratively.
 That means we try to host from our homes rather than from datacenters and for
 and with our communities rather than just ourselves. We host from home from an
 understanding that paying for a home internet subscription means you use the
 connection not only to download but also to upload. We learn about this
 together knowing that it becomes easier, more fun and empowering than when one
 does so alone.
 During the workshop, we will help participants through the fundamentals of
 setting up a basic web server and all that entails. We will explore the
 possibilities of low power hardware (either old or single-board computers),
 understanding network topologies, re-configuring routers and exposing ports for
 hosting our own websites outside of the 'cloud'.
 Among others, participants will be learning how to:
  a) access a remote computer via the terminal
  b) install web server software and set up a simple web page
  c) configure a router to make their server accessible from the internet
 No previous experience is required. If you have any old computer lying at home
 that you would like to turn into a server, please bring it along! Otherwise, we
 will have some material available that participants can use during the
 workshop.

 Floppy Totaal visits Varia for another round of dual-layered action. At "Floppy Totaal: Double Density" you can join members of the Floppy Kick music label during a live recording and publishing workshop in the afternoon. The subsequent evening program is filled to the brim with performances by Kisszántó and Eoforwine, presentations and conversations with Joak and Jason Scott and a long distance contribution by Michael Ridge. 
 The emphasis of the event lies on the concept of the floppy disk as comfort food in a "future/present shocked" digital age. In what way does working with floppy disks help us cope in a time preoccupied with "new" media and planned obsolescence? Does the floppy disk hold more content than just 1,44 MB of data? Join us to find out!
 * workshop: 14:00 / free
 * evening: 20:00 / 5 euro
 Full Program:
 Part 1 of Floppy Totaal @ Varia (14:00-18:00) is free and consists of a special Floppy Kick workshop and a conversation.
 Part 2 of Floppy Totaal: Magnetic Flux starts at 20:00 and has tickets for sale that can be purchased at the door for 5 euro's each. The event consists of a series of talks, performances and contributions by Eoforwine, Kisszántó, Michael Ridge, Joak and Jason Scott. 
 * Floppy Kick Workshop
 Floppy Kick Records is a not-for-profit, floppy-only label that was formed in Budapest in 2013. All its releases are handmade and any "income" they produce goes straight into future releases. They take a non-political, yet critical position by explicitally rejecting any racism, sexism, homophobic or other forms of radicalism on their releases, choosing to instead focus on the beauty of sound. This can be in any style;  experimental, noise, ambient, musique concrète, dark sounds, hnw, avantgarde, field recordings, industrial, power electronics, lo-fi, grindcore, or anything  interesting. They believe in physical formats and respect their collectors. During their workshop at Floppy Totaal you can contribute to Floppy Kick by helping out with the recording and releasing of a brand new floppy release.

 * Floppy Totaal
 Floppy Totaal is a Rotterdam based initiative by Niek Hilkmann, Thomas Walskaar and Lídia Pereira that investigates the reuse and re-purposing of 'outdated' technology as a cultural phenomenon. By examining the contemporary usage of the iconic floppy diskette, they hope to assess the way past technology is integrated into our culture today, as well as its future potential. The goal of the project is to inject the debate surrounding obsolescent media with new enthusiasm and stimulate a critical approach to the topic with the help of extensive field research in the realm of the floppy disk.

 Er is meer tussen hemel en aarde dan de mens! Op 15 maart besteden we daarom aandacht aan “levenloze” object in ons midden. Op de stenen vloer van Varia zullen een vijftal artiesten te zien zijn die een intieme relatie met hun naaimachines, broodroosters, ventilatoren, waterkokers en opgeviste werkhandschoenen durven aan te gaan. Dit alles onder het mom van ‘The Call Of The Kettle’; de eerste object georienteerde muziekavond bij Varia! Tijdens dit evenement zullen er optredens te zien zijn van de volgende artiesten:
 ** Agente Costura en Stephen Doyle ** is een duo dat geïmproviseerde geluiden speelt met behulp van versterkte naaimachine en drums. Constura speelt al sinds 2003 op de Singer. Overdag werkt ze met ongewenste kleding  en transformeert die in nieuwe draagbare vormen. 's Nachts sluit de Singer zich aan bij haar medemuzikanten en naait zij op het ritme van de muziek. Zo improviseert zij kleding op basis van ritme en geluid. Costura heeft onder meer opgetreden in The Vancouver Art Gallery, de Month of Performance Art Berlin, het Bimhuis Amsterdam en de Curitiba Fashion Week. Stephen Doyle is een drummer die woont en werkt in Amsterdam. Costura en Doyle creëren samen een percussieve upcycled stortvloed van uniek gebeeldhouwd geluid.

 **Watt's Cookin'** bestaat uit Zeynep Aslan, Tamara van Suylekom en Inge Hoonte, die elkaar hebben leren kennen via re#sister en repeteren bij Worm. Voor deze performance gaan ze knallen en klooien met dagelijkse objecten. Ze repeteren momenteel in de keuken met hun orkestleden, waaronder waterkokers en koffiepercolators, een mes en een snijplank, een paar potten met noten, rijst en maïs, een mini-oven, twee pannen, twee theelepels en een eierklopper. Een broodrooster en een blik kokosmelk aarzelen nog of mee willen doen, maar waarschijnlijk loopt dat wel los!
 ** De Brut ** is een nieuw project van Marijn Verbiesen, die volgens bronnen "een van de krachten is die de Rotterdamse underground bij elkaar houdt!" Ze heeft deelgenomen aan tal van projecten (Sweat Tongue, Red Brut) en is actief als een van de organisatoren van de beruchte Herman concertreeks. Daarnaast staat Verbiesen bekend om haar tapecollages die zeer persoonlijk zijn en hoog aangeschreven staan door bladen als The Wire.

 ** Stella Koppe ** is een "one-woman-sea-trash-band" uit Rotterdam met kunstenares Stella Koppe aan het roer. Het mechanisch en met de hand bespeelde afval van het schoongeveegde strand zal door haar op uw hoofd worden geloosd, in een netwerk van audio-galactische bevrediging!
 ** The Singing Toaster ** is niet zoals andere broodroosters, omdat niet elke broodrooster kan zingen. Daarom is deze bijdrage aan "The Call Of The Kettle" nu al een beetje bijzonder. Zullen de verbrande kruimels tussen zijn verwarmingselementen ook uw hart kunnen verwarmen?
 **Datum:** Vrijdag, 15 Maart 2019<br>
 **Entree:** 5 euro<br>

 There is more between heaven and earth than humankind! Therefore, we would like to direct your attention to your fellow "inanimate" object on the 15th of March. On this day five special acts will showcase their intimate relationship with their sewing machines, toasters, fans and working gloves. All this under the guise of 'The Call Of The Kettle'; the first object oriented music evening at Varia! During this event there will be performances by the following artists:
 ** Agente Costura and Stephen Doyle ** are a duo playing improvised sounds, on amplified sewing machine and drums. Constura has been playing the Singer since 2003. In the daytime she tackles unwanted clothing, transforming them into new wearable shapes. At night, the Singer joins her fellow musicians and Lisa sews to the beat of the music, improvising on clothing based on rhythm and sound. Lisa has performed extensively, for instance at The Vancouver Art Gallery, the Month of Performance Art Berlin, the Bimhuis Amsterdam, and Curitiba Fashion Week. Stephen Doyle is a drummer, living and working in Amsterdam. His sounds have previously graced the creations of Dagora, 78rpm, and many more. Together, Costura and Doyle create a percussive upcycled torrent of uniquely sculpted sound.

 ** Watt’s Cookin’ ** is composed of Zeynep Aslan, Tamara van Suylekom and Inge Hoonte who met through re#sister and rehearse at Worm. For this performance, the three have teamed up to bang, clang and tinker with everyday household items. They are currently rehearsing in Inge's kitchen with the orchestra members they’ve interested to participate, such as water cookers and coffee percolators, a knife and a cutting board, a few jars with nuts, rice, and corn, and a couple of empty jars, a mini oven, two pans, two tea spoons and an egg beater. A bread toaster and a coconut milk can are hesitant if they want to join this upbeat troupe, but they will probably fit right in!
 ** De Brut ** is a new project by Marijn Verbiesen who, according to sources, is "one of the forces that keeps the Rotterdam underground together!" She has participated in numerous projects (Sweat Tongue, Red Brut) and is active as one of the organizers of the infamous Herman concert series. Besides that Verbiesen is renowned for her tape collages that are highly personal and highly regarded by magazines like The Wire.

 ** Stella Koppe ** is a one-woman-sea-trash-band from Rotterdam, helmed by none other than Stella Koppe. She performs with a collection of marine debris, played by mechanics and by hand. She will sweep the beach and throw its garbage on your head, in a maze of audio galactic joyfulness.
 ** The Singing Toaster ** is not like other toasters, because not every toaster is able to sing. Therefore the inclusion of this one during ‘the call of the kettle’ is somewhat of an occasion. Will the burned crumbs between its heating elements be enough to warm your heart?

 <b>Rowan van As</b>
 One does not easily describe the life and times of Rowan Van As. This artist-troubadour sings, draws, sculpts and records like there is no tomorrow with the help of an abundance of props and home-made instruments (such as his famous organ mussel). At Varia he will perform some brand new songs for us and warm your heart!

 summary: Een nieuwe muzikale avond in Varia; vol singers, songwriters, herrie en karton!
 Een nieuwe muzikale avond in Varia! Wees erbij op 16 november voor een evenement vol singers, songwriters, herrie en karton!
 <b>Niek Hilkmann en de Puls</b>
 “Je lege melkfles”, “Hey, wat raar… Er zit een beestje in je haar” en “Nooit meer terug naar Zaamslag”; dat zijn niet zomaar wat bij elkaar geraapte woorden, maar enkele titels die Niek Hilkmann in gedachten heeft voor een gloednieuwe EP. Ter gelegenheid van de opnames hiervan speelt hij bij Varia met zijn band, De Puls, deze en vele andere Nederlandstalige liederen. Verwacht een bonte aaneenschakeling van ongehoorde primeurs en misschien zelfs wat oude bekenden.
 [Web](https://niekhilkmann.nl/)<br>
 [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzD53OQZ5WE)
 <b>Vulva</b>
 Vulva is een tweehoofdig, feminiem beest met een grote bek zoals je die eigenlijk alleen in sprookjes en fabels ziet. Maar nu dus ook bij Varia! Verwacht een flinke bak herrie, theaterale escapades en een hoop geschreeuw, waarvan het de vraag is of het eigenlijk wel op het podium thuis hoort. Vulva zal zeker uitbarsten!

 <b>Rowan van As</b>
 Men geeft niet zomaar een beschrijving van het leven en werk van Rowan Van As. Deze kunstenaar-troubadour zingt, tekent en beeldhouwt alsof er geen morgen is en gebruikt daarbij een overvloed aan rekwisieten en zelfgemaakte instrumenten (zoals zijn beroemde mosselorgel). Bij Varia zal hij een aantal gloednieuwe nummers voor ons uitvoeren.
 [Web](https://rowan.hotglue.me/)<br>
 [Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3gbFSzHRGg)
 <b>G. de Singer Songwriter</b>
 Gerard Olthaar is, zoals zijn naam al doet vermoeden, niet zomaar een muzikant, maar een heuse Singer-Songwriter; een solist die slechts met gitaar en stem de mensen weet te verbazen, ontroeren en verwonderen. Zijn liederen zijn rauw als de Rotterdamse straatstenen en zijn gitaarsound is ongeknutseld uniek!

 <b>DJ Wanneer</b>
 Geen enkele muziekavond is compleet zonder goede DJ en daarom zijn we erg blij om DJ Wanneer op de line-up te hebben.

 summary: We are all very glad to invite you to the launch of the second issue of **Networks of One's Own: three takes on taking care** and **Fed Up!**, the 13th issue of the *Pervasive Labour Union zine*.

 We are all very glad to invite you to the launch of the second issue of **Networks of One's Own: three takes on taking care** and **Fed Up!**, the 13th issue of the *Pervasive Labour Union zine*. We will celebrate this with an evening of stories and discussions around networks and maintenance practices.
 **Location**: Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam) <br>
 **Date**: Saturday 28th of September <br>
 **Time**: 19:30h - 21:30h
 ![](/images/nooo2.relearn2.jpg)
 **Networks Of One’s Own** is a para-nodal[^1] periodic publication that is itself collectively written in a network. Each of the episodes is thought of as the ‘release’ of a specific software stack, contextualised in its specific practice. The series aims to document a set of tools, experiences, ways of working that are diverse in terms of their temporality, granularity and persistence. **Three takes on taking care** is the second volume of this series.
 In our activity as artists, designers and researchers working with and around free/libre open source technology based projects, we often encounter situations where collective authorship gives rise to complicated interrelationships of ownership. Specifically, these involve the practical aspects of care, maintenance, documentation and overall commitment. 
 Three of these projects, *homebrewserver.club*, *Bibliotecha* and *Relearn*, have been influential for the individual practices of those involved, but also for a wider international network of actors, including exhibition spaces, festivals, collective and both formal and informal learning communities. The maintenance of those projects, however, which is long-term and requires ongoing engagement, often lags behind since it is taken up by individuals on the basis of their ability and time.
 This publication is the result of an act of active documentation of the networked projects developed in and around Varia. Active documentation means that we not only documented, but also revisited these projects, spending time on their maintenance and consolidation:
 * *homebrewserver.club*, a periodic gathering where people learn together and reflect on self-hosting digital content. (<http://homebrewserver.club>)
 * *Bibliotecha*, a project centered on the development of local offline digital libraries for the distribution of electronic publications within small communities. (<http://bibliotecha.info>)
 * *Relearn*, a self-organised 'summer school' reflecting upon collective learning, that has as many teachers as it has participants. (<http://relearn.be/>)
 With this publication we hope to improve their resilience, portability, long-term sustainability and accessibility.
 The first issue in the series was initiated by [Constant](http://constantvzw.org) and documents the project 'Etherbox', a [collaborative writing and documentation environment](https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html). The publication included a genealogy of the events, ideas and practices in the Constant network that influenced or reversely were influenced by what eventually became known as Etherbox. This way of documenting stresses how a project like Etherbox is the work of a heterogenous network of practices that each in their way contribute to its formation.

 **Fed Up!** is the 13th edition of the **The Pervasive Labour Union** and explores topics and issues relating to federated social networks such as Mastodon, Pleroma and Funkwhale. It was made possible by the contributions of Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.
 **The Pervasive Labour Union** zine is a project initiated by Lídia Pereira in 2015. It not only offers a low-barrier entry level for contributors wishing to express their views on corporate social networking labour, but also a low-barrier entry level for those wishing to become acquainted with these debates. It tries to gather existing knowledge and conversations, while opening up that debate and creating new discourses of user organisation and expression.
 It brings together personal rants, academic texts, poetry, photo montages, collages, drawing, etc. Each issue represents a smaller particle pertaining to labour on social networking platforms and attempts to establish an interconnecting discourse around topics such as labour on corporate social networks, algorithmic governance, resistance and alternatives.

 **Networks Of One’s Own** is een para-nodale[^1] periodieke publicatie die wordt geschreven in een netwerk. Elk van de uitgaven is tegelijk een *release* van een specifieke software bundel, die gecontextualiseerd is in zijn eigen praktijk. De serie documenteert gereedschappen, ervaringen en manieren van werken die divers zijn in hun tijdsduur, volledigheid en volharding. **Three takes on taking care** is de tweede uitgave in deze reeks. 
 In onze praktijken als kunstenaars, ontwerpers en onderzoekers werkend aan vrije software projecten, komen we vaak situaties tegen waar collectief auteurschap leidt tot ingewikkelde relaties tot eigenaarschap. In zulke collectieve projecten vallen er snel gaten bij praktische aspecten rondom zorg, onderhoud, documentatie en algemene betrokkenheid. 
 Drie van deze projecten, *homebrewserver.club*, *Bibliotecha* en *Relearn*, hebben een grote invloed gehad op de individuele praktijken van de betrokkenen, maar ook op een breder internationaal netwerk van actoren. Daaronder vallen expositieruimtes, festivals, en zowel formele als informele leergemeenschappen. Het onderhoud van deze projecten, wat over langere periodes gaat en een voortdurende inzet vereist, blijft echter vaak achter. Dat omdat het door individuen wordt opgepakt op basis van hun capaciteiten en tijd.
 Deze publicatie is het resultaat van een actieve documentatie van de netwerkprojecten die in en rond Varia zijn ontwikkeld. Actieve documentatie betekent dat we deze projecten niet alleen hebben gedocumenteerd, maar dat we ze ook opnieuw hebben bekeken en tijd hebben besteed aan onderhoud, verdere ontwikkeling en de consolidatie ervan:
 * *Homebrewserver.club*, een periodieke bijeenkomst waar mensen samen leren en reflecteren over het zelf hosten van digitale inhoud. (<http://homebrewserver.club>)
 * *Bibliotecha*, een project gericht op de ontwikkeling van lokale off-line digitale bibliotheken voor de distributie van elektronische publicaties binnen kleine gemeenschappen. (<http://bibliotecha.info>)
 * *Relearn*, een 'zomerschool' die reflecteert op collectief leren met evenveel leerkrachten als deelnemers. (<http://relearn.be/>)
 Met deze publicatie hopen we de veerkracht, draagbaarheid, duurzaamheid en herbruikbaarheid voor de langere termijn te verbeteren.
 De eerste editie in de serie is geinitieerd door [Constant](http://constantvzw.org) en documenteert het project 'Etherbox', een [collectieve schrijf- en documentatie-omgeving](https://networksofonesown.constantvzw.org/etherbox/manual.html). Die publicatie behelste een genealogie van de evenementen, ideeen en praktijken in het bredere netwerk van Constant die enerzijds de ontwikkeling van Etherbox beinvloed hebben of anderszijds er zelf door beinvloed zijn. Deze manier van documenteren benadrukt hoe een project als Etherbox het werk is van een heterogeen netwerk van praktijken waarin het project kan ontstaan.

 **Fed Up!** is de 13e editie van de **Pervasive Labour Union** en is dit keer gewijd aan gefedereerde sociale netwerken zoals Mastodon, Pleroma, Funkwhale. Met bijdragen van Martin Schotten, Eliot Berriot, Luke Murphy, Eugen Rochko, Julia Janssen, Gui Machiavelli, Inge Hoonte and Louisa Bufardeci, and Silvio Lorusso.
 De **Pervasive Labour Union** zine is in 2015 opgericht door Lídia Pereira. De zine is niet alleen een laagdrempelig publicatie project voor mensen die willen schrijven over arbeid in en rondom sociale netwerken, maar ook een toegankelijke plek om bekend te raken met discusses rondom deze onderwerpen. De periodieke publicaties van de PLU verzamelen kennis en discussies, terwijl ze een debat initiëren en ruimte geven aan nieuwe discoursen waar sociale-media gebruikers zich binnen kunnen organiseren en uiten.
 De PLU brengt een diversiteit aan bijdragen samen, waaronder persoonlijke tirades, academische artikelen, poëzie, foto montages, collages en illustraties. Elke uitgave richt zich op een specifiek onderwerp van sociale netwerken vanuit arbeidsperspectief. Vanuit verschillende invalshoeken, zoals algoritmische bestuursvormen, weerbaarheid en alternatieve houdingen, worden zo verbanden gelegd tussen verschillende werkgebieden rondom sociale netwerken.

 ### Publication launch and performance evening
 At the end of last year, **De Player** approached **Varia** to develop a web-publication for their Pushing Scores project archive. The project investigated the state of the arts of composing scores in a contemporary environment and spanned over 2-3 years.
 Varia contributed by developing an archival web publication where the vernacular vocabulary of De Player creates the possibilities of text-based navigation across the collection of items. The material is embodied by a dynamic, accessible and therefore active archive, which creates new relations, new perspectives and, at its best, new concepts for the production and/or processes of making scores. Navigating within the data structure of the archive becomes an act of score notation.
 To test this De Player and Varia asked several artists to work with the tool and use the result as a starting point for a performance.
 **Sofia Boschat Thorez** and **Cristina Cochior** will give a brief introduction to the tool, followed by **Niek Hilkmann**, **Christine Cornwell** and **Robert Kroos**'s score interpretations. 
 The performances will be ongoing throughout the night, you are welcome to join in at any moment.
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
 **Niek Hilkmann** is a Rotterdam based artist, musician and researcher with a background in art history, media design and musicology. He has a particular interest in the abstruse technological condition we are living in and the insufficient intellectual methodologies that seek to justify, or explain it. During the presentation of Pushing Scores he will utilize the spatial dimensions of Varia and recontextualize the scores created by the archive. In an ongoing performance unexpected correlations will be produced between the items in the archive and the physical surroundings in which they are represented.
 **Christine Cornwell** is a composer and violinist working between NL/UK with projects involving improvisation and collaborative work often combined with visual artists, dancers, opera companies or experimental TV. She is currently completing a Composition MA at Codarts with Hans Koolmees/René Uijlenhoet and her freelance work includes presenting new works for violin, collaborative residencies, workshop leading and producing/curating events in this field. From her first experiments, such as 2011’s interdisciplinary collaboration with visual artist Eddie Peake/LuckyPDF TV at London’s Barbican to 2019's experimental event 'Invitation (x)', collective creation practises are a vital meeting point which can be traced through all of her creative work between performance, production and management.  
 **Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)** is a Rotterdam based musician, sound-artist and DJ working on all kinds of  sound- and music related projects.  For this special event he will be using the guzheng and electronics as instruments of choice.

 ### Pushing Scores - Presentatie publicatie en performanceavond
 Eind vorige jaar benaderde **De Player** **Varia** met de vraag een web publicatie te ontwikkelen over het archief van Pushing Scores. Pushing Scores was een driejarig onderzoekstraject van de Player over nieuwste inzichten op het gebied van hedendaagse scores. 
 Varia heeft hier aan bijgedragen door een archiefpublicatie te ontwikkelen waarin de spreektaal uit het archief de basis vormt waarop men door de verzameling kan navigeren. Het materiaal heeft uiteindelijk de vorm gekregen van een dynamisch, toegankelijk en daardoor levend archief. Hiermee wordt het mogelijk nieuwe verbanden, perspectieven en wie weet zelfs wel concepten voor nieuwe scores te zien. Op deze manier wordt de handeling van het navigeren door de datastructuur van het archief het componeren van een nieuwe score.
 Om deze aanname op de proef te stellen hebben de Player en Varia enkele kunstenaars uitgenodig om aan de deze publicatie uit te proberen en aan de hand daarvan een performance te ontwikkelen.
 Je bent van harte uitgenodigd om langs te komen op vrijdag 31 Mei in Varia. Waar **Sofia Boschat Thorez** en **Cristina Cochior**  de archiefpublicatie zullen introduceren. Daarna volgen er performances van **Niek Hilkmann**, **Robert Kroos** en **Christine Cornwell**.
 De uitvoeringen zullen de hele nacht doorgaan, je bent van harte welkom om op elk moment deel te nemen.
 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
 **Niek Hilkmann** is een Rotterdamse kunstenaar, onderzoeker en muzikant met een interesse in de verwarrende technologische toestand waarin we allemaal momenteel verkeren, en de ontoereikende intellectuele methodologieën die deze proberen uit te leggen of te rechtvaardigen. Tijdens de presentatie van Pushing Scores zal hij de ruimtelijke dimensies van Varia verkennen en de scores die voortkomen uit het nieuwe archief hercontextualiseren. Gedurende een doorlopende performance zullen onverwachte verbanden ontstaan tussen het archiefmateriaal en de fysieke omgeving waarin deze worden gerepresenteerd.
 **Christine Cornwell** is een componist en violiste die tussen NL/UK werkt met projecten met improvisatie- en samenwerkingsverbanden, vaak in combinatie met beeldend kunstenaars, dansers, operagezelschappen of experimentele TV. Momenteel voltooit ze samen met Hans Koolmees/René Uijlenhoet een MA Compositie bij Codarts en haar freelance werk omvat onder meer het presenteren van nieuw werk voor viool, residenties, het leiden van workshops en het produceren/cureren van evenementen op dit gebied. Vanaf haar eerste experimenten, zoals de interdisciplinaire samenwerking in 2011 met beeldend kunstenaar Eddie Peake/LuckyPDF TV op de Londense Barbicanen tot het experimentele evenement 'Invitation (x)' in 2019, zijn collectieve creatiepraktijken een belangrijk ontmoetingspunt dat terug te vinden is in al haar creatieve werk tussen performance, productie en management.
 **Robert Kroos (aka Duckfood)** is een Rotterdamse muzikant, geluidskunstenaar en DJ die werkt aan allerlei soorten geluids- en muziekgerelateerde projecten. Voor deze speciale gebeurtenis zal hij de guzheng en elektronica als instrumenten naar keuze gebruiken.

 Summary: This year's edition of Relearn takes the form of multiple sessions, spread over the (bezier) curve between (possibly Amsterdam)-Rotterdam-Brussels-Paris. This Relearn session in Rotterdam is the first control point on the curve.
 For the Rotterdam control point on this year's curved edition of Relearn, we propose to together attend to a **subject zone** (•) where different digital network practices intersect. This subject zone can morph into multiple directions throughout the session. Our specific interest is in how **publishing formats** (••) operate with/on/through this zone.
 • There are many questions in the air when we start to speak about digital infrastructures, hosters, servers, services, networks and their technical realities. Instead of picking one and diving deeper, we thought it would be more interesting to present a range and explore different vocabularies, protocols, technologies, infrastructures. We invite you to join Relearn to stretch this zone, starting from or moving towards:
 * digital interdependencies
 * affective infrastructures
 * homebrew networks
 * networked entanglements
 * feminist servers
 * federated networks
 * and-and-networks
 * digital autonomy
 * transitional infrastructures
 * digital selves-organisations
 * so-and-sovereignty networks
 * out-of-the-cloud thinking
 * …
 •• We’re curious about learning through publishing formats. The different publishing formats serve as an invitation to embed ourselves within the subject zone of digital networks. How can these formats be our morphable lenses, that we use to relearn digital networks? Starting from or moving towards:
 * multiple readers
 * cross-readings created through algorithms
 * logbooks
 * syllabi
 * documentation
 * annotations
 * cookbooks
 * tutorials
 * README
 * bug reports
 * link dumps
 * scores
 * …
 Many sub-trajectories can emerge from here during the days, without the need of taking the same path or agreeing about vocabularies or geometries altogether.
 The session will take place in Rotterdam and starts on Friday evening (the 7th) in a public setting, followed by two full days of relearning together.
 **Friday 7th June 20:00 - 22:00**<br> 
 Relearn public evening program: embed yourself into Relearn
 **Saturday/Sunday 8-9th June 10:00 - 18:00**<br>
 Relearn sub-zone-trajectories
 If you would like to join this Relearn session, please send an email to [info@varia.zone](mailto:info@varia.zone) with a short motivation of your interest. We will reply to subscriptions on a regular basis, up to the **26th of May**.
 Our capacities allow us to have a group of 30 relearners. Our preference goes out to people that can join the whole session (Friday evening, Saturday and Sunday). We will take care of a *daily vegetarian lunch* (please let us know about allergies or other dietary preferences). Following a tradition from previous years, we will arrange a *hosting network* in the city and find a place to stay for everyone. Please mention in the email if you need to be hosted or could host one or more relearners in your house.
 If you would like to join us only on the Friday evening, there is no need to subscribe, just come over! :)

 Summary: De Relearn editie van 2019 bestaat uit meerdere sessies verspreid over het jaar, die samen een (bezier) curve tussen (mogelijk Amsterdam)-Rotterdam-Brussel-Parijs vormen. De sessie in Rotterdam is het eerste controle punt van deze curve.
 Voor de Rotterdamse sessie op de Relearn curve stellen we voor om samen een **onderwerpszone** te betreden (•) waar verschillende digitale netwerkpraktijken elkaar kruizen. Deze subject zone kan tijdens deze sessie meerdere gedaantes aannemen en allerlei kanten op bewegen. Onze specifieke interesse in dit onderwerp is gericht op hoe **publicatie vormen** (••) functioneren binnen/met deze zone. 
 • Wanneer het gaat over digitale infrastructuur, hosting, servers, online diensten, netwerken en hun technische realiteiten hangen er heel veel vragen in de lucht. Voor deze sessie wilden we niet een enkel vraagstuk uitlichten, maar juist een reeks aan vocabulair, protocollen, technologieën en infrastructuren naast elkaar zetten. We nodigen je uit om deel te nemen aan Relearn en deze *zone* verder op te rekken, te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:
 * digitale inter-afhankelijkheden
 * affectieve infrastructuur
 * homebrew netwerken
 * genetwerkte knopen
 * feministische servers
 * gefedereerde netwerken
 * en-en-netwerken
 * digitale autonomie
 * transitionele infrastructuren
 * digitale zelf-organisaties
 * so-en-soevereiniteits netwerken
 * buiten-de-cloud denken
 * …
 •• We zijn nieuwsgierig om te leren van/via publiceer processen. De volgende vormen van publiceren nodigen uit om vanuit een geïntegreerde positie te werken met/aan de onderwerpszone van digitale netwerken. Kunnen we deze bestandstypes als een morfische lens inzetten, om te leren over digitale netwerken? Of kunnen we datgene dat we al kennen over digitale netwerken opnieuw proberen te leren, zoals de naam *relearn* suggereert? Te beginnen bij of toewerkend naar:
 * meervoudige readers
 * logboeken
 * syllabi
 * documentatie
 * annotaties
 * kookboeken
 * tutorials
 * README's
 * error rapporten
 * link dumps
 * scores
 * …
 Meerdere sub-trajecten kunnen tijdens dit weekend ontwikkeld worden, zonder dat er een noodzaak bestaat om allemaal hetzelfde pad te nemen of het eens te zijn over vocabulair of geometrie.
 De sessie zal plaats vinden in Rotterdam en begint op vrijdag avond (7e) in een publieke setting, gevolgd door twee volle dagen samen *relearnen*.
 **vrijdag 7 juni 20:00 - 22:00**<br>
 Relearn publiek avond programma: *embed yourself into Relearn*
 **zaterdag/zondag 8 - 9 juni 10:00 - 18:00**<br>
 Relearn sub-zone-trajecten
 Als je mee wilt doen aan Relearn, stuur ons dan een mail op [info@varia.zone](mailto:info@varia.zone) met een korte motivatie om je interesse toe te lichten. We zullen met enige regelmaat op inschrijvingen antwoorden, tot **26 mei**.
 Onze capaciteiten zijn beperkt, waardoor we maximaal 30 relearners kunnen verwelkomen. Onze voorkeur gaat uit naar deelnemers die de hele sessie mee komen doen (vrijdag avond, zaterdag en zondag). We zullen zorgen voor een dagelijkse *vegetarische lunch* (laat het ons weten als je allergisch bent of speciale dieet voorkeuren hebt). Ook zullen we de traditie van vorige jaren Relearn voortzetten en hard ons best doen om een *hosting netwerk* te organiseren in de stad, om zo iedereen onder te brengen. Laat alsjeblieft weten in je email of je een plek nodig hebt om te slapen in Rotterdam, of hoeveel mensen je thuis zou kunnen hosten tijdens dit weekend. 
 Als je alleen op vrijdag avond mee wilt doen dan kan dat natuurlijk ook, je hoeft je dan niet in te schrijven, kom gewoon langs! :)

 Dear guest,
 We traveled from home to home by bicycle, setting up homeservers. As friends and companions on this Infrastructour, we studied our routers over drinks served by our hosts. Where possible we installed our servers in our homes, in other cases we had to depend on another member of the group. 
 While self-hosting together we questioned our understandings of networks, autonomy, online publishing and social infrastructures, where each of us departed from a different question. We would like to share our personal (yet interconnected) routes with you, tell you a story, present our web- and printed zines, and invite you to explore our homebrewed network.

 Geachte bezoeker,
 Het was een paar maanden terug dat we bij elkaar van huis tot huis gingen om ons gezamenlijke *homebrew* netwerk te installeren. Terwijl onze *host* een kop thee voor ons zette, onderzochten we op deze *infrastructour* onze routers en hoe die ons aan het internet verbonden.  In de huizen waar het mogelijk was installeerden we een server, maar dat lukte niet overal. Het maakte sommigen van ons afhankelijk van een ander lid van de groep. 
 Gedurende het project was gezamenlijk werken aan vormen van *self-hosting* een manier om het te hebben over netwerken, autonomie, online publiceren en sociale infrastructuren, waarbij we elk van ons vertrok vanuit een andere vraag. We willen graag onze persoonlijke (en toch onderling verbonden) zoektochten met je delen, je een verhaal vertellen, je onze on-line en geprinte zines presenteren en je uitnodigen om ons zelfgebouwde netwerk te verkennen.

 ![Broad Varia Ecosystem](/images/variaecosystem.png)
 In June 2019, a delegation of Varia traveled to Bucharest to meet and exchange with [ODD](https://www.oddweb.org/), a space for theoretical discussion and social gatherings of all kinds founded and run by Cristina Bogdan. On the 19th, we gave a presentation entitled "The Social in the Media: On Digital Interdependencies". This was the abstract of the talk:
 > One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group.
 > The evening will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, and other types of infrastructures that Varia, a space in the South of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), is experimenting with. Departing from discussions on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the affective infrastructures that shape everyday cultural practices and online socialities.

 <small>Attendants reading Constant's "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room" letter. Photo by Florian Cramer.</small>
 We started the session by briefly mentioning our individual practices and how Varia came from a dissatisfaction with existing models for self-run spaces, such as the makerspace (lack of critical theory involved), the hackerspace (technology for technology's own sake), the co-working space (sociality as a a service), the fablab, etc.
 After this introduction, the topic of the evening was more precisely expounded through a collective reading of "Dear Cultural Institution, There's an Elephant in the Room", a letter by Brussels based organisation Constant which addresses the troublesome relationship that independent cultural institutions maintain with corporate tools and social media. The letter was written as a reaction to multiple organisations' request for "help to degooglify". Following the reading, a short discussion took place, during which we invited the audience to exchange with us the intricacies of their relationship to corporate social media, but also their experiences, or lack thereof, and the obstacles they encountered while attempting to establish some distance.
 Obviously, Varia hasn't found any definitive solution to this issue, but the question does connect to a lot of the practices in and around Varia. To explain how we tried to address some of the concerns raised in the letter we created a map of the broad Varia digital ecosystem. With this map, we wanted to stress that our current strategy consists in a combination of self-hosted tools and services (such as the website, the collaborative note taking software Etherpad, the on-line calendar and the git-based code sharing repository), but also some that are run by solidary organizations (such as mailing lists, chat, individual fediverse micro-blogging accounts) and some that are paid for (email). Our wish was to emphasize that a cultural organization doesn't necessarilily need to do everything by themselves, but can make use of what is already available.
 We then spoke about our use of bots in chat systems, both to communicate and to document our exchanges. Our initial idea was to develop new forms of note-taking based on our interaction habits. We share a lot of different types of information in group chats, from news to recommendations of articles to instigations to clean the fridge. Starting from the conversational nature of our exchanges, we are experimenting with two different bot-users in the chat: one that gathers images shared on the main Varia channel and displays them online, and another one, focused specifically on the topic of digital interdependencies, that gathers images, quotes and looks for books' citations.
 Beyond these internal initiatives, we also try to reach out and collaborate with people involved in the development of the tools we are interested in. Last year we invited Daniel Gultsch, the developer of Conversations, an open source application for self-hosted chat that is used in Varia. Daniel introduced his work and reflections before animating a worksession organised as part of the *Welcome to the Federation* project. This example was mentioned as one of the ways in which Varia tries not only to use, but also to contribute to and engage more broadly with free software tools and culture.

 An other thing we mentioned is the centrality of Etherpad, the collaborative note-taking software, in our practice. The main reason for that is its flexibility and the tools one can build on top of it, such as Etherdump, a command line tool written by Michael Murtaugh that converts etherpad pages to files. Our use of this tool turned our collaborative writing practice into a collaborative publishing practice. As the pads are driving us to write, edit, add and remove text all the time collectively, most content can be described as traces or fragments rather than "properly" edited essays. Reflecting on this tendency, we discussed the possibility of publishing *through* leaking. This idea became the departure point for the development of a new Etherdump feature allowing us to collect only the pads featuring a "_PUBLISH_" mention. As a result, the Etherdump became a fuzzy field of documents, that can speak to others in the group.
 For the last part of the presentation, we spoke about collaborative projects initiated within Varia which make explicit the importance of tools within our members respective practices. The project [Pushing Scores](http://pushingscores.deplayer.nl/), developed by Cristina and Sofia, was mentioned because its development was heavily influenced by our familiarity with software, including its vulnerabilities. Pushing scores, an archive for a research project about experimental score making, was commissioned by De Player, a Rotterdam based organisation dedicated to experimental music and performance. The outcome is a database free lightweight website made using Python (Flask, Jinja and nltk) in which all the content is interlinked through the vocabulary used by De Player themselves to describe it. Each word submitted by de Player is a clickable link, offering the possibility to chose from a list of sentences containing this specific word within the whole collection to access an other item.

 Ultimately, we tried to introduce and discuss our own experience to point out to strategies that can be adopted by other organizations, such as using the resources of hosting associations or solidary organizations, rather than corporate ones. Furthermore, we also tried to emphasize how the adoption of such tools have provided us with the freedom to implement some custom elements, from bots to publishing tools.  We explained our attachment to free software and what other types of hosting can be (such as the ones inspired by the [Feminist Server Manifesto](https://feministhacktivism.noblogs.org/post/2015/02/03/what-is-a-feminist-server/)). We discussed as well the value and perils of federation against the private silos of the GAFAM and the need for trusted intermediaries. Together with ODD and the audience we discussed the politics of adoption of free software and self-hosting, the issue of time investment and the issues around delegating control over services and instruments.

 summary: Addressing our digital dependencies as self-organised spaces.
 One of the big contradictions of the scene of self-organised cultural initiatives is that we are extremely reliant on corporate social media when it comes to our digital presence. For example, it seems both unthinkable and inescapable to organise an evening without a corresponding Facebook event, or to plan that evening without Google Docs or coordinating via a Whatsapp group. 
 This workshop is a moment for some out-of-the-cloud thinking. Departing from a discussion on this situation and its causes, we will try to imagine and formulate the digital infrastructures that shape our everyday cultural practices and online socialities. The workshop will touch upon alternative tools and approaches, from federated and community-owned social media platforms, to hosting cooperatives, free software philosophy and feminist understandings of the internet.
 **Date**: Friday 12 April, 13:00h - 17:00h
 This workshop is part of the Autonomous Fabric symposium. <http://www.autonomousfabric.org>

 **The stream and chat to Century 21 Calling - Gone Surfing can be found here: [https://walskaar.com/stream.html](https://walskaar.com/stream.html)**
 Everyone is online nowadays, connected to the information superhighway from home, for work, school, education and so much more. But only a few years ago, the idea of doing office work from home was still a new and strange idea. During “ Century 21 Calling - Gone Surfing ”, we are going to explore this concept and take a look at how the communication network has evolved over time.
 Century 21 Calling is a series of screenings initiated by the Save_as collective and hosted normally at Varia in Rotterdam. Together, we take a look at the archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold it up to the light of the present.
 This is still an experiment, so expect possible technical issues. We'll stick to the chat for the Q&A this time.
 The stream starts on Saturday, the 25th of April at 20:00 CET and lasts until +/- 22:00 CET

 Iedereen is tegenwoordig online, verbonden via de informatiesnelweg, voor werk, school, onderwijs en nog veel meer. Maar slechts een paar jaar geleden was het idee om via streaming vanuit huis te werken nog helemaal nieuw. Tijdens "Century 21 Calling - Gone Surfing", gaan we dit concept verkennen en zullen we aan de hand van enkele educatieve video's laten zien hoe communicatienetwerken zich in de loop van de tijd hebben ontwikkeld.
 Century 21 Calling is een serie vertoningen die is geïnitieerd door het collectief Save_as en normaal gesproken wordt organiseerd bij Varia in Rotterdam. Samen kijken we naar de archieffilms, bedrijfsvideo's, tv-reportages en historische documentaires die de verbeelding van morgen hebben gevormd, om deze vervolgens tegen het licht van het heden houden.
 De streaming variant van C21C is nog steeds een experiment, dus verwacht de nodige technische problemen. De Q&A achteraf gaat deze keer enkel via de chat plaatsvinden.   
 De stream begint op zaterdag, 25 april om 20:00 CET en duurt tot +/- 22:00 CET.

 Join the chat here https://webchat.freenode.net/?#varia**
 With the current world situation, a large demand for video chats and voice calls via the Internet has popped up. Many are now working and studying from home for the first time.  However, meet-ups via telecommunication are not a new idea, this idea and the corresponding technology has been flying around from the 1870s with services of the “party line” or telephone conference calls. A party line is a local loop telephone circuit that is shared by multiple telephone service subscribers. Party line systems were widely used to provide telephone service, starting with the first commercial switchboards in 1878.
 Tonight, during “ Century 21 Calling - Party Line”, we are going to explore the concept via the internet.  Join us for the first-ever streamed Century 21 Calling screening and Varia's very own party line. There will be films about the party line and telephone communication, from across the street, to the other side of the world.
 Century 21 Calling is a series of screenings initiated by the Save_as collective and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam. Together, we take a look at the archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports and historical documentary of yesterday that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold it up to the light of the present.
 This is an experiment, so expect possible technical issues.
 The stream starts on Saturday, the 21st of March at 21:00 GMT+ and lastst until +/- 22:10 GMT+. All are welcome on the party line, free of charge.

 Met de huidige situatie in de wereld is er een grote vraag ontstaan naar videochats en spraakoproepen via internet. Velen werken en studeren nu voor het eerst vanuit huis. Meetups via telecommunicatie zijn echter niets nieuws, dit idee en de bijbehorende technologie doet al sinds de jaren 1870 de ronde met diensten van de "party line" en telefonische vergaderingen. Een "party line" is een telefooncircuit met een lokale lus die wordt gedeeld door meerdere abonnees van telefoondiensten. "party lines" werden op grote schaal gebruikt voor de telefoondienst, te beginnen met de eerste commerciële schakelborden in 1878.
 Vanavpnd, tijdens “ Century 21 Calling - Party Line”, gaan we de diepte in op het internet.  Kijk mee naar de allereerste gestreamde Century 21 Calling-screening via Varia's eigen "party line". Er zullen films worden vertoond over de "party line" en telefonische communicatie, van de overkant naar de andere kant van de wereld.

 summary: Join us for an educational Century 21 Calling screening. Learn how to keep your face to face meeting from turning into full-on anarchy!
 *Because of covid-19, all attendees need to preregister by emailing **tickets@walskaar.com** with the subject "We Got The Room Until Noon". There is a limit of 10 participants. If you show any symptoms of illness (fever, cough, sore throat), take responsibility and stay at home. A full list of corona related rules will follow after the event text.*
 With many companies having online meetings over the past months to the web their face to face meeting skills might have become rusty. How do we deal with this reintroduction? How will we react to new policies and general office politics? How can we lower friction in the company?
 Don’t worry and join us for the screening of **Century 21 Calling - We Got The Room Until Noon**, where we will learn all of the skills necessary to keep the office from turning into full-on anarchy. We will learn all about 1970s IBM views on “feedback meetings” and everything about corporate lingo.
 The screening will be interactive and participatory. We will watch an educational IBM film with the help of a 16MM projector and “comment” on the film together.
 **Century 21 Calling** is a series of screenings initiated by Thomas Walskaar and hosted at Varia in Rotterdam. Together, we take a look at the archival industrial films, corporate infomercials, tv reports and historical documentaries that shaped the imagination of tomorrow and hold them up to the light of the present.

 Omdat veel bedrijven de afgelopen maanden enkel online hebben vergaderd, is hun persoonlijke vergadervaardigheid wellicht wat roestig geworden. Hoe gaan we om met deze herintroductie? Hoe zullen we reageren op nieuw beleidsvormen en de algemene politiek op kantoor? Hoe kunnen we de wrijving binnen het bedrijf beperken?
 Maak je geen zorgen en doe gewoon mee met de nieuwe screening van ** Century 21 Calling - We Got The Room Until Noon **, waar we alle vaardigheden leren die nodig zijn om te voorkomen dat het kantoor verandert in totale anarchie. We zullen alles te weten komen over hoe IBM in de jaren 70 over "feedback meetings" dacht en het zakelijk jargon dat daarbij komt kijken.
 Deze screening is interactief en vraagt participatie. We zullen een educatieve IBM-film bekijken met behulp van een 16 MM-projector en samen 'commentaar' geven op de film.
 ** Century 21 Calling ** is een serie vertoningen geïnitieerd door Thomas Walskaar en gehost bij Varia in Rotterdam.

Het belangrijkste is dat we ons allemaal op ons gemak voelen in de ruimte. We gaan hierbij een open dialoog aan en erkennen dat het niet altijd gemakkelijk is om dergelijke gesprekken te beginnen.*
 *Samen letten we op het volgende:*
 *Voordat je komt:*
 *Als u ziektesymptomen vertoont (koorts, hoest, keelpijn), neem dan uw verantwoordelijkheid en blijf thuis (zelfs als u niet de diagnose heeft gekregen)*
 *Bij het betreden van de ruimte:*

 summary: Corporeal Whispers is a composition for remote collaboration, based on the idea of  "The Exquisite Corpse", a surrealist game, a protocol that plays with concealing and revealing, collectively creating the yet unknown drawing of a body. 
 The sonic body that RE#SISTER's ca. 10 individuals have assembled, is constituted by its integral parts. They were made by following a predetermined sequence. Each one of us received the ten last seconds of the part preceeding ours. On the basis of that, we were inspired to compose the next part in the sequence.
 Eventually, we have edited these parts into a body, a corporeal whisper. 
 Whispering together, we present you our voices.

 summary:Corporeal Whispers is een compositie voor samenwerking op afstand, gebaseerd op het idee van "The Exquisite Corpse", een surrealistisch spel. Een spel van verbergen en onthullen, waarin gaandeweg door de spelers een nog onbekend lichaam wordt gecreëerd. 
 Ca. 10 RE#SISTER-leden hebben een collectieve compositie gemaakt op afstand. Een klinkend geheel dat meer is dan de som der delen. Van te voren was de volgorde van de stukken al vastgesteld, en iedere speler kreeg slechts de laatste 10 seconden van haar voorganger te horen. Dat inspireerde dan weer tot het maken van het volgende deel.
 Uiteindelijk zijn de delen samengevoegd, en zie: Corporeal Whispers was geboren. Gezamenlijk fluisterend, komen al onze stemmen bij elkaar.
 in order of appearance:
 Tisa Neža Herlec, Mariette Groot, Marte Ydema, Carolien Slegers, Lucija Gregov, Mina Kim, Sibyla Koyota, Hyunji Jung, Mayb3 Bab3, Suzana Lașcu, Yoana Buzova, Zeynep Aslan
 **[RE#SISTER](https://re-sister.nl/)** is een community van vrouwen en non-binary personen met diverse achtergronden, met als uitvalsbasis de electronische geluidsstudio van WORM, Rotterdam. Ze ontmoeten elkaar daar elke maand om de instrumenten daar te leren kennen, samen te spelen, en van elkaar te leren. Er zijn diverse kleine ensembles ontstaan vanuit RE#SISTER.
 **Vanwege de huidige situatie en met het oog op de volksgezondheid zal dit evenement helaas niet meer plaatsvinden in de fysieke ruimte van Varia. In plaats daarvan wordt het online gestreamd vanaf 21:00. Je vindt de link beneden**

It's time to bring the classic football game to the south of Rotterdam. Varia will be host to both an amateur cup as well as a pro cup - anyone can play!
 ** As you may have expected, the Varia Cup will be postponed due to the current circumstances. We'll keep an eye out for a new date to compete in Varia, but in the meantime we are figuring out ways to play online (also check: https://sensiblesoccer.de/faq ). Write to sebatosh@gmail.com if you are interested to join this Saturday and we'll see if we can have enough players to host a cup.  In the meantime stay sensible -> stay at home and practice SWOS2020 (update 1.1 including winter transfers will be released soon!).**
 Become a goal scoring superstar hero at the **Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020**! After two competitive events at WORM it's time to bring the classic football game to the south of Rotterdam. Varia will be host to both an amateur cup as well as a pro cup - anyone can play (literally; in contrast with modern football simulators you only need a joystick with one button!). Although the last official release of the game was in 96 (not counting the terrible 3d attempts that became the downfall of Sensible Software), Sensible Soccer never went away thanks to its highly addictive gameplay and vast database of teams from around the world, creating possibilities to become champion infinite. SWOS has become part of the gaming canon as stated by Stanford University, amongst games as Tetris and Super Mario Bros 3. The Royal Mail celebrated its part in British video game history by releasing a Sensible Stamp last month.

 **SWOS2020**
 A strong community (check out [www.sensiblesoccer.de](http://www.sensiblesoccer.de)) made sure the ball kept on rolling, with ways to play against each other online, rankings, as well as hosting the annual Sensible Days: the World Cup where players decide who's best. The highlight of this year though is the launch of **Sensible World of Soccer 2020**! Not only does it provide an up-to-date database with around 1,500 teams from all over the world (from The Netherlands to El Salvador; a huge community effort), it is also the first time that the game can be played on modern operating systems without using DOS- or Amiga-emulators. This time you can run the game straight from your Windows-desktop (of course, the database has also been released for the original Amiga version). You can even switch live between DOS and Amiga-gameplay, and choose for a beautiful wide screen mode on UltraHD resolutions. The game is available for free through below link (you do need to own the original version of the game though, but online search machines will help, or check out [www.gog.com ](http://www.gog.com )for a legal way to buy the game).

De tijd is aangebroken om dit klassieke voetbalspel naar Rotterdam-Zuid te brengen. Bij Varia organiseren we zowel een amateur- als een pro-cup; iedereen kan meedoen!
 **Zoals je wellicht al had verwacht, wordt de Varia Cup vanwege de huidige omstandigheden uitgesteld. We kijken binnenkort naar een nieuwe datum en onderzoeken intussen ook hoe we online door kunnen spelen (kijk ook op: https://sensiblesoccer.de/faq). Schrijf naar sebatosh@gmail.com als je interesse hebt om deze zaterdag online mee te doen. Dan kijken we of er genoeg spelers zijn om een tournament te hosten. Blijf intussen verstandig -> blijf thuis en oefen SWOS2020 (update 1.1 inclusief wintertransfers komt binnenkort uit!).**
 Wordt een 'goal scoring superstar hero' tijdens de **Sensible World of Soccer Varia Cup 2020**! Na twee competitieve toernooien bij WORM brengen we dit klassieke voetbalspel nu naar Rotterdam-Zuid. Bij Varia organiseren we zowel een amateurcup als een pro-cup - iedereen kan meedoen (letterlijk: in tegenstelling tot moderne voetbalsimulators kan je het spel spelen met een joystick en slechts één knop)! Alhoewel de laatste officiële versie alweer dateert uit 1996 (de matige 3d pogingen laten we maar buiten beschouwing), is Sensible Soccer nooit weggeweest. Dankzij een uiterst verslavende gameplay en een uitgebreide database van wereldwijde teams zijn de mogelijkheden om kampioen te worden oneindig. SWOS maakt volgens de Stanford universiteit deel uit van het spelkanon, samen met bijvoorbeeld Tetris en Super Mario Bros 3. De Royal Mail heeft zijn aandeel in de Britse spelgeschiedenis beloond met een Sensible postzegel afgelopen maand.

 **SWOS2020**
 Het komt mede door een sterke community (zie ook [www.sensiblesoccer.de](http://www.sensiblesoccer.de)) dat de bal bleef rollen. Denk aan mogelijkheden om online tegen elkaar te spelen, ranglijsten, en de jaarlijkse Sensible Days: het WK waar uitgemaakt wordt wie de beste speler is. Het hoogtepunt van dit jaar is de release van Sensible World of Soccer 2020! Deze nieuwe versie biedt niet alleen een geupdate database met +/- 1.500 teams (van Nederland tot El Salvador!), het is ook de eerste keer dat het spel op huidige besturingssystemen gespeeld kan worden zonder gebruik te maken van DOS- of Amiga-emulatoren. Deze editie kan rechstreeks vanaf je Windows-desktop opgestart worden (natuurlijk is er ook een database voor de originele Amiga-versie beschikbaar voor de die-hards). Het is zelfs mogelijk te switchen tussen DOS en Amiga-gameplay en om te kiezen voor een fraaie breedbeeld-modus in UltraHD-resolutie. Het spel is als freeware te downloaden via onderstaande link (wel is het nodig het originele spel in bezit te hebben; online zoekmachines bieden uitkomt, of ga naar [www.gog.com ](http://www.gog.com )waar het spel verkocht wordt).

 summary: Een vertoning van de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Daarnaast zal Sam Kreuk zijn muzikale solo-project City Dragon presenteren. Een avond vol documentaires, muziek en goede gesprekken!
 Varia nodigt je uit voor een avond vol documentaires, muziek en goede gesprekken!
 Op 8 februari vertonen we de documentaires "Alles Flex?" en "Call me Intern", die beide een blik werpen op de gevolgen van de toenemende flexibilisering van huisvesting en werk. Om dit onderwerp te verduidelijken heeft Abel Heijkamp, een van de filmmakers van "Alles Flex?" en lid van de Bond Precaire Woonvormen, ermee ingestemd aanwezig te zijn voor een gesprek voor- en achteraf.
 Het tweede deel van het programma wordt verzorgd door Sam Kreuk, die zijn solo-project City Dragon zal presenteren.
 **Locatie:** Varia, Gouwstraat 3 (Rotterdam)  <br>
 **Datum:** Zaterdag, 8 Februari<br>
 **Tijd:** 17:30 - 21:30  <br>
 **Entree:** Donatie
 **City Dragon**  
 City Dragon is het soloproject van *Max Kaario aka. Sam Kreuk*. Met behulp van saxofoon, blokfluit, speelgoed en percussie maakt hij geïmproviseerde collages en loops. Verwacht de stem van een diva, power ballads, street trance, een verzameling aan afvalritmes, Celine Dion mesmer mantra's en nog veel meer!

 **Alles Flex?**  
 In de documentaire ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) verkennen filmmakers *Abel Heijkamp* (NL) en *Julij Borštnik* (SI) de mogelijke gevolgen van de huidige flexibilisering van onze leefwereld. De film is gebaseerd op de persoonlijke verhalen van flexwerkers en flexhuurders met verschillende leeftijden en levenswijzen. Wat voor soort samenleving creëren we wanneer existentiële veiligheid niet langer een recht is, maar een voorrecht voor hen die het zich kunnen veroorloven?
 ‘Alles Flex?’ Is de eerste aflevering van een 4-delige webdocumentaire serie 'The Future of Work' en gefilmd in Nederland, Slovenija, Duitsland en Europa.
 **Call me Intern**  
 Jong, werkloos en gefrustreerd; filmmakers *David Leo Hyde* en *Nathalie Berger* gingen in het kader van een millennial gonzo-filmproductie op stage om het systeem van binnenuit te bekijken.
 Nadat David een stage bij de Verenigde Naties heeft aanvaard, verhuizen Nathalie en hij naar een kleine blauwe tent aan het meer van Genève om  zijn onbetaalde stage-ervaring te documenteren. Deze actie veroorzaakt een wereldwijde persstorm en daagt hun rol als filmmaker uit.
 Ondertussen werkt Marisa voor een Amerikaanse presidentsverkiezingencampagne, terwijl ze de intimidatie van haar toezichthouders afweert. Kyle neemt een stage voor een fortuin-500 bedrijf, terwijl hij in een daklozenopvang in New York woont.
 Elk van deze stagiaires staat voor een keuze: het systeem accepteren zoals deze is of hun carrière op het spel zetten door ertegen in te gaan. Hun acties helpen zichtbaarheid en kracht te geven aan een groeiende internationale stage-beweging. Hun verhalen onthullen de druk die zoveel millennials ertoe brengt om gratis te werken, terwijl uittreksels uit popcultuur en getuigenissen van academici, politici en werkgevers ons een idee geven van hoe breed het stage-fenomeen zich al heeft verspreid.

 **Alles Flex?**  
 In the documentary ‘Alles Flex?’ (All Flex?) filmmakers *Abel Heijkamp* (NL) and *Julij Borštnik* (SI) explore the possible consequences of the current flexibilisation of our life-world. It draws upon the personal accounts of flex workers and flex tenants of different ages and walks of life. What kind of society are we fostering when existential security is no longer a right, but a privilege for those who can afford it?
 ‘Alles Flex?’ is the first episode of a 4 part web documentary series The Future of Work.
 Filmed in the Netherlands, Slovenija, Germany and Europe.
 **Call me Intern**  
 Young, unemployed and frustrated, Filmmakers *David Leo Hyde* and *Nathalie Berger* set out to land an internship so they can examine the system from the inside in an act of millenial gonzo-film making.
 After David accepts an internship at the United Nations, they move into a small blue tent on the Geneva lakefront and begin documenting his unpaid intern experience. Their action sparks a global press storm, challenging their roles as filmmakers.
 Meanwhile, Marisa works for a US presidential election campaign, while fending off harassment from her supervisors. Kyle interns for a fortune-500 company, while living in a New York homeless shelter.
 Each of these interns faces a choice: accept the system the way it is or put their careers on the line to speak out against it. Their actions help give visibility and strength to a growing global intern movement. Their journeys reveal the pressures which lead so many millennials to work for free while pop-culture extracts and testimonies from academics, politicians and employers give us a sense of how wide the internship phenomenon has spread.
 **Schedule:**

 Ever had a hard-drive crash? lost data? cloud back did
 not really backup? Time Machine did not have a past do go
 back to? Many questions around backup and data storage
 exist and many issues need to be resolved. From large
 database to a small personal collection, data storage
 affects everyone and many so-called solutions exist but
 are they really solutions?
 At the first Ctrl-Alt-Save meetup at Varia, many of these
 questions might become more clear for you.
 The focus of the first meetup will be on your data and
 how you can manage it better and more securely based on
 your interests and current issues. No solution
 guaranteed, but a possible better understanding of the
 topic.
 Ctrl-Alt-S will be a series of events and meet-ups at
 Varia in 2020 and will be shaped by the feedback and
 comments of the attendees. The meet-ups will be in
 English.

 Ooit een harde schijf gehad? gegevens verloren? cloud
 back niet echt back-up? Time Machine had geen toeval, ga
 terug naar? Er zijn veel vragen over back-up en
 gegevensopslag en veel problemen moeten worden opgelost.
 Van een grote database tot een kleine persoonlijke
 verzameling, gegevensopslag is van invloed op iedereen en
 er bestaan veel zogenaamde oplossingen, maar zijn het
 echt oplossingen?
 Bij de eerste Ctrl-Alt-Save-bijeenkomst op Varia kunnen
 veel van deze vragen voor u duidelijker worden.
 De focus van de eerste bijeenkomst ligt op uw gegevens en
 hoe u deze beter en veiliger kunt beheren op basis van uw
 interesses en actuele problemen. Geen oplossing
 gegarandeerd, maar een mogelijk beter begrip van het
 onderwerp.
 Ctrl-Alt-S zal een reeks evenementen en ontmoetingen zijn
 bij Varia in 2020 en zal worden gevormd door de feedback
 en opmerkingen van de aanwezigen. De meet-ups zullen in
 het Engels zijn.

 summary: The Feminist Hack Meetings are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. 
 Artemis and Angeliki invite you to join the Feminist Hack Meetings.
 Let's talk about **feminist servers**! In this meeting, we invite you to discuss questions like:<br>
 What does it mean for a server to be feminist, and how could it look like? What and who does it serve? What does it take to create and maintain it?<br>
 We would like to map and draw collectively our ideas and consider the possibility of setting up a feminist server at Varia, as a base for our practice.<br>
 We will bring material (like RPis and computers) to start experimenting and trying things out. <br>
 Join us!<br>
 The **Feminist Hack Meetings** are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation.

 The **Feminist Hack Meetings** are a series of informal research meetings and workshops that aim to explore the suggestions, urgencies and potentials of feminist hack & tech initiatives. We invite people, who are interested in technology and the processes of shaping it, to discuss and work together in matters of inclusion and exclusion in tech communities, feminist servers and hosting, autonomous communication services, archive and documentation. We will also include hardware and sound explorations. 
 A feminist approach to technology takes into consideration the social and political context around it. It pushes the boundaries of technological circles, in order to include gender-diverse people, amateurs, or others who have experienced low or high levels of exclusion in tech environments. They also include cultural, artistic and educational practices that are approaching technology, not as an end in itself. 
 The idea started after participating in **/ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)** in Athens, which is a gathering of feminists, who critically use/study/share/improve everyday information technologies in the context of the free software and open hardware movements. 
 In this first gathering we will give an overview and an introduction to this series of meetings. We will discuss on how this proposal may grow in time.

 Een feministische benadering van technologie houdt rekening met de samenhangende sociale en politieke context. Het verlegt de grenzen van technologische kringen, met inbegrip van gender-diverse mensen, amateurs of anderen, die in minder of meerdere mate een uitsluiting hebben ervaren in technische omgevingen. Ze omvatten ook culturele, artistieke en educatieve praktijken die technologie benaderen, maar niet als een doel op zich. 
 Het idee begon na de deelname aan het  **ETC (Eclectic Tech Carnival)** in Athene, een bijeenkomst van feministen, die alledaagse informatie technologieën kritisch gebruiken / bestuderen / delen / verbeteren in de context van de gratis software en open hardware stromingen.
 In deze eerste bijeenkomst zullen we  een overzicht en een inleiding geven over deze reeks vergaderingen. We zullen bespreken hoe dit voorstel in de loop van de tijd zich kan ontwikkelen .

 summary: Heath Bunting visits Varia to share his past and present projects against control systems, in conversation with Florian Cramer and the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse.
 **Heath Bunting** is an artist based in the UK who, for more than thirty years, has questioned and undermined systems of control and communication. He began as a street artist putting up fly posters in public spaces, belonged to the first generation of net.artists in the 1990s where he found (and ran the server of) [irational.org](http://www.irational.org/), but turned away from the Internet in 1998, seeing its corporate takeover as early as in that year. 
 He set up several radio stations, collaborated with Kate Rich on alternative distribution systems for goods and workshops for trespassing private property. For his "Identity Bureau', he investigated ways for people to legally obtain a new names and identities using loopholes in the bureaucracies of Western countries (and gave an Identity Bureau workshop in 2014 at Wlfrt Projectspace Rotterdam). In his daily life and travels, he strictly avoids use of electronic systems that make him traceable, including bank cards and mobile phones. 
 The above is only a small fraction of his activities in working against control systems. **Florian Cramer **will have a two-hour conversation with Heath Bunting on his past and present projects, with the aim to share Heath's knowledge and experience with the audience. This will be followed, at 16.00, by heath's critical feedback on the current activities of [**the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse**](http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html) in Rotterdam.
 Program:
 ** 14.00-16.00:** Thirty years of researching and working against control systems - conversation & project review with Heath Bunting<br>

 summary: Heath Bunting gaat bij Varia in gesprek met Florian Cramer en the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse. Hierbij gaat hij in op projecten uit het heden en verleden en zijn voortdurende strijd tegen controlesystemen.
 ** Heath Bunting ** is een in Engeland gevestigde kunstenaar die al meer dan dertig jaar controle- en communicatiesystemen in twijfel trekt en ondermijnt. Hij begon als street artist door posters op te hangen in de openbare ruimte, behoorde tot de eerste generatie van net.artists in de jaren negentig, waar hij [irational.org](http: //www.irational.org) oprichtte (en de server runde), maar keerde zich in 1998 van het internet af toen hij diens bedrijfsovername daarvan voorzag.
 Hij richtte verschillende radiostations op en werkte samen met Kate Rich aan workshops voor het betreden van privébezit en aan alternatieve distributiesystemen voor goederen. Voor zijn 'Identity Bureau' project onderzocht hij manieren voor individuën om legaal een nieuwe naam en identiteit te verkrijgen via de bureaucratische mazen van westerse landen (in 2014 gaf hij een Identity Bureau workshop in Wlfrt Projectspace Rotterdam). In zijn dagelijkse leven, vermijdt Bunting strikt het gebruik van elektronische systemen die hem traceerbaar maken, waaronder bankkaarten en mobiele telefoons.
 Het bovenstaande is slechts een klein deel van zijn activiteiten en strijd tegen controlesystemen. ** Florian Cramer ** zal een gesprek van twee uur met Heath Bunting voeren over zijn vroegere en huidige projecten, met als doel de kennis en ervaring van Heath met het publiek te delen. Hierop volgt om 16.00 uur kritische feedback van Heath op de huidige activiteiten van [** the Voluntary Fire Brigade of the Apocalypse **](http://www.woodstonekugelblitz.org/firemenp1.html) in Rotterdam.

 summary: Every last Sunday of the month, the Varia Library and Rotterdam Electronics Depot are open. This Sunday, Amy Pickles is organising some loose exercises and scores for reading and discussing collectively an excerpt from Ilya Kaminsky's Deaf Republic.
 ** Hi again! **
 During the current times, Varia's Read & Repair days are relocating to digital collective spaces. However, we are currently trying to find the right balance between having moments of togetherness through collective reading and sharing, while not adding extra pressure or mental exhaustion. 
 For this next session we have planned some loose exercises and scores for reading and discussing together. They are without our aural voices and can be performed from a distance.
 ** Meet your hosts **
 On Sunday the 26th of April, Varia is welcoming artist and educator [amy pickles](http://amypickles.co.uk), who is working with cristina cochior and julie boschat thorez on a never ending (ever expending) project with Hybrid Publishing, a group of people from willem de kooning academy (wdka) Rotterdam, NL, to publish things hybrid-ly.
 amy was asked to develop her graduation project (from master education in art, the piet zwart institute) that was called [sic] scripture, How to use scripts to imagine counterdiscourses? Here the script was a device to go ‘off script’ of dominant narratives.
 Together, we are publishing some things - references, sounds, scripts - from amy's research. They are debris from workshops, they come from minoritarian positions and they have involved unusual exercises for the body.
 ** What are we going to read? **
 We will be using a photocopied excerpt from "Deaf Republic” by Ilya Kaminsky, that amy uploaded into the library and indexed under debris.bought.references.ilya_kaminsky_deaf_republic_excerpt.pdf
 Ilya Kaminsky (born April 18, 1977) is a hard-of-hearing, USSR-born, Ukrainian-Russian-Jewish-American poet, critic, translator and professor. He is best-known for his poetry collections Dancing in Odessa and Deaf Republic, which have earned him several awards. [Extract source](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Kaminsky)
 In this book Ilya writes about deafness as a form of dissent against tyranny and violence.
 Deaf Republic opens in an occupied country in a time of political unrest. When soldiers breaking up a protest kill a deaf boy, Petya, the gunshot becomes the last thing the citizens hear — all have gone deaf, and their dissent becomes coordinated by sign language. 
 The story follows the private lives of townspeople encircled by public violence: a newly married couple, Alfonso and Sonya, expecting a child; the brash Momma Galya, instigating the insurgency from her puppet theater; and Galya’s girls; day and by night luring soldiers one by one to their deaths behind the curtain. At once a love story, an elegy, and an urgent plea, Deaf Republic confronts our time’s vicious atrocities and our collective silence in the face of them. [Extract source](https://www.graywolfpress.org/books/deaf-republic)
 *Our country woke up the next morning and refused to hear soldiers. <br />
    In the name of Petya, we refuse. <br />
    At six a.m., when soldiers compliment girls in the alley, the girls slide by, pointing to their ears. At eight, the bakery door is shut in soldier Ivanoff’s face, though he’s their best customer. At ten, Momma Galya chalks No One Hears You on the gates of the soldiers’ barracks. <br />
    By eleven a.m., arrests begin. <br />
    Our hearing doesn’t weaken, but something silent in us strengthens.<br />
    In the ears of the town, snow falls.*
 from Deafness, an Insurgency, Begins
 We felt like Ilya's writing resonated with these times.
 *NOTE:* This reading session will be held in English.

 summary: Elke laatste zondag van de maand zijn de Varia Bibliotheek en het Rotterdam Electronics Depot geopend. Deze zondag organiseert Amy Pickles een aantal losse oefeningen en partituren voor het lezen en bespreken van een collectief fragment uit Ilya Kaminsky's Deaf Republic.
 ** Hoi, alweer! **
 In de huidige tijd verhuizen de Read & Repair dagen van Varia naar digitale collectieve ruimtes. Op dit moment proberen we echter de juiste balans te vinden tussen het hebben van momenten van samenzijn door middel van collectief lezen en delen, zonder extra druk of mentale uitputting toe te voegen. 
 Voor deze volgende sessie hebben we een aantal losse oefeningen en scores gepland om samen te lezen en te discussiëren. Ze zijn zonder onze auditieve stemmen en kunnen op afstand worden uitgevoerd.
 ** Ontmoet je gastheren **
 Op zondag 26 april verwelkomt Varia kunstenaar en pedagoog amy pickles([http://amypickles.co.uk](http://amypickles.co.uk)), die samen met cristina cochior en julie boschat thorez werkt aan een nooit aflatend project met Hybrid Publishing, een groep mensen van willem de kooning academie (wdka) Rotterdam, NL, om dingen hybride uit te geven.
 amy werd gevraagd om haar afstudeerproject (van masteropleiding in de kunst, het piet zwart instituut) te ontwikkelen dat [sic] scripture werd genoemd, How to use scripts to imagine counterdiscourses? Hier was het script een apparaat om 'off script' te gaan van dominante verhalen.
 Samen publiceren we enkele dingen - referenties, geluiden, scripts - uit het onderzoek van amy. Het zijn brokstukken van workshops, ze komen uit minoritaire posities en ze hebben ongewone oefeningen voor het lichaam gedaan.
 ** Wat gaan we lezen? **
 We gebruiken een gefotokopieerd fragment uit "Deaf Republic" van Ilya Kaminsky, dat amy heeft geupload in de bibliotheek en geïndexeerd onder debris.bought.references.ilya_kaminsky_deaf_republic_excerpt.pdf
 Ilya Kaminsky (geboren 18 april 1977) is een hardhorende, in de USSR geboren, Oekraïens-Russisch-joods-Amerikaanse dichter, criticus, vertaler en professor. Hij is vooral bekend van zijn dichtbundels Dancing in Odessa en Deaf Republic, die hem verschillende prijzen hebben opgeleverd. [Herkomst van het extract](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Kaminsky)
 In dit boek schrijft Ilya over doofheid als een vorm van dissidentie tegen tirannie en geweld.
 Dove Republiek opent in een bezet land in een tijd van politieke onrust. Als soldaten een protest uiteen laten vallen, doodt Petya een dove jongen, wordt het geweerschot het laatste wat de burgers horen - ze zijn allemaal doof geworden, en hun meningsverschil wordt gecoördineerd door gebarentaal. 
 Het verhaal volgt het privéleven van stedelingen die omringd zijn door publiek geweld: een pas getrouwd stel, Alfonso en Sonya, die een kind verwachten; de brutale Momma Galya, die de opstand uit haar poppentheater op gang brengt; en Galya's meisjes; die dag en nacht de soldaten één voor één naar hun dood lokken achter het gordijn. Met een liefdesverhaal, een elegie en een dringend pleidooi confronteert de Dove Republiek de wrede wreedheden van onze tijd met onze collectieve stilte tegenover hen.

 *Our country woke up the next morning and refused to hear soldiers. <br />
    In the name of Petya, we refuse. 
    At six a.m., when soldiers compliment girls in the alley, the girls slide by, pointing to their ears. At eight, the bakery door is shut in soldier Ivanoff’s face, though he’s their best customer. At ten, Momma Galya chalks No One Hears You on the gates of the soldiers’ barracks. <br />

    Our hearing doesn’t weaken, but something silent in us strengthens. <br />

 van doofheid, een opstand, begint
 We hadden het gevoel dat Ilya's schrijven met deze tijd resoneerde.
 *NOTE:* Deze leessessie wordt in het Engels gehouden.

 summary: Every last Sunday of the month the Varia library and Rotterdam Electronics Depot are open. This Sunday we will dive into a text written by Raymond Williams in 1978, called *The Means of Communication as the Means of Production*.
 Come and make yourself comfortable, read together with others, browse/exchange/acquire parts from our electronics depot or use the quietness of the day to repair things that need fixing.
 Each session of Read & Repair is looking at a different text, sometimes guided by a guest.
 This next edition will feature Raymond Williams' The Means of Communication as a Means of Production (1978). Having been reduced from their status as means of social production, means of communication are seen only as "media".
 The text focuses on the materiality of communication, how communication tools are produced and questions how this determines who can use, study or alter them. Although the text is not directly written in relation to questions around user agency and digital tools, it closely connects to them. We will read Williams' text and try to contextualise it in light of our current relationship with communication technologies.
 The reading will take place on the day itself, but you can browse the text in advance [here](https://arena-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/5203089/588b63303705dfc574fa6186d1a15500.pdf?1570568092).
 We will meet this time in the physical space of Varia in Charlois!

 Elke laatste zondag van de maand zijn de Varia Bibliotheek en het Rotterdam Electronics Depot geopend. Deze zondag duiken we in een tekst van Raymond Williams uit 1978: *The Means of Communication as the Means of Production*.
 Deze tekst richt zich op de materiële eigenschappen van communicatie, hoe communicatie tools worden geproduceerd en wie ze kan gebruiken, bestuderen of veranderen. 
 Alhoewel de tekst niet direct is geschreven met betrekking tot vragen rondom user agency en digitale tools, zijn er wel degelijk raakvlakken met deze onderwerpen. We zullen William's tekst lezen en proberen te contextualiseren in het licht van onze relatie tot communicatietechnologieën.
 Het lezen van de tekst zal op de dag zelf plaatsvinden, je kunt de tekst alvast doornemen [hier](https://arena-attachments.s3.amazonaws.com/5203089/588b63303705dfc574fa6186d1a15500.pdf?1570568092).

 Title: Read & Repair feat. Minimal Viable Learning

 summary: How can minimal technologies maximise a learning experience? What could 'minimum' 'viable' 'learning' be? During this Read & Repair, we will explore minimal viable forms of learning with **Etherpad**. Etherpad is a collaborative text editor that is often used within the practices of Varia members and their peer networks.
 Come and make yourself comfortable, read together with others. Each session of Read & Repair is looking at a different text, sometimes guided by a guest. Our last editions have been taking place online, and so does this one.
 In December's version a group of Varia members (Cristina Cochior, Joana Chicau, Luke Murphy, Manetta Berends and occasionally Silvio Lorusso) will be sharing some methods and themes explored as part of a residency at the School of Commons. To read more about the project, follow this link: <https://www.schoolofcommons.org/labs/minimum-viable-learning>.
 In the last months, learning, with all its communal and convivial aspects, turned into an online-only endeavour. This sudden transition didn’t leave much room to make a judicious choice of modes of interaction, communication tools, utilised services and platforms. Within educational organisations, we witness a double movement: on the one hand, a centralisation of all activities by means of the software suite (e.g. Microsoft Teams); on the other hand, the standardisation of a maximalist mode of communication meant to replicate class interactions (e.g. Zoom meetings).
 How can minimal technologies maximise a learning experience?
 What could 'minimum' 'viable' 'learning' be?
 Minimalism is for us a departure point to make space for other possible forms of technologically mediated learning.
 During this Read & Repair, we will explore minimal viable forms of learning with **Etherpad**. Etherpad is a collaborative text editor that is often used within the practices of Varia members and their peer networks.
 We will focus on exploring and rediscovering the principles of calm technology and minimal computing, and accommodate different rhythms of engagement through the Etherpad, while stretching both the tool and our understandings of what online pedagogical places could be.
 Expect: `__MAGICWORDS__`, welcome rituals, warming up & cooling down exercises, padtiquettes and more.

 summary: Hoe kan een minimale technologie een maximale leerervaring opleveren? Wat kunnen vormen van 'minimal' 'viable' 'learning' zijn? Tijdens deze Read & Repair testen we *minimal viable* vormen van leren door te werken met **Etherpad**. Etherpad is een gezamenlijke tekstverwerker die vaak gebruikt wordt binnen de praktijk van Varia-leden en hun peer-netwerken.
 Kom naar Varia om de zondag langzaam en rustig te beginnen met collectief lezen. Tijdens iedere sessie van Read & Repair zetten we een tekst centraal, soms in samenwerking met een gast. Tijdens onze laatste edities ontmoetten we elkaar online en ook deze editie zal online plaatsvinden. 
 In deze december editie deelt een groep Varia-leden (Manetta Berends, Luke Murphy, Joana Chicau, Cristina Cochior en af en toe Silvio Lorusso) enkele methodes en thema's die onderzocht worden in het kader van een residentie bij de School of Commons. Meer informatie over het project staat hier online: <https://www.schoolofcommons.org/labs/minimum-viable-learning>.
 In de afgelopen maanden is educatie, een collectief en sociaal dynamisch proces, veranderd in een online samenkomsten. Deze plotselinge overgang gaf niet veel ruimte om gegronde keuzes te maken over de vormen van interactie, de tools, of over de gekozen diensten en platforms. Binnen onderwijsorganisaties zien we een dubbele beweging: enerzijds een *centralisatie* van alle activiteiten door middel van één softwaresuite (bv. Microsoft Teams); anderzijds de standaardisatie van een *maximale* manier om te communiceren die bedoeld is om het klaslokaal na te bootsen (bv. videocalls).
 Minimalisme is voor ons een uitgangspunt om ruimte te maken voor andere mogelijke vormen van technologisch gemedieerd leren. Tijdens deze Read & Repair zullen we verschillende stukken tekst lezen rondom de vraag: 
 Hoe kan een minimale technologie een maximale leerervaring opleveren? 
 Wat kunnen vormen van 'minimal' 'viable' 'learning' zijn?
 Tijdens deze Read & Repair testen we *minimal viable* vormen van leren door te werken met **Etherpad**. Etherpad is een gezamenlijke tekstverwerker die vaak gebruikt wordt binnen de praktijk van Varia-leden en hun peer-netwerken.
 We zullen ons richten op het verkennen en herontdekken van de principes van kalme technologie en minimaal computergebruik, en verschillende ritmes van betrokkenheid uit proberen via de Etherpad, terwijl we zowel de tool als ook ons begrip proberen op te rekken, van wat online pedagogische omgevingen kunnen zijn.
 Verwacht onder andere: `__MAGICWORDS__`, welkomstrituelen, padtiquettes en meer.

 summary: Varia organiseert een speciale editie van *Read & Repair* die zal worden opgesplitst in twee(!) collectieve lees- en conversatiesessies. Een zal online zijn en een andere zal in onze ruimte in Charlois zijn.  Het is een reeks van evenementen om zaken zoals abolitionistische technologie en door community gedreven systemen van aansprakelijkheid te bespreken, tegelijkertijd het genereren van anonieme, consensuele puinhopen voor *stone throw*, een tijdelijke online werk om onze methoden en reflecties te delen.
 In de huidige tijd gaan de Read & Repair dagen van Varia door in een translocale modus. We proberen de juiste balans te vinden tussen het hebben van verschillende modi van samenzijn door middel van collectief lezen en delen, terwijl we ons aansluiten via een online kanaal of door aanwezig te zijn in de ruimte in Charlois.  
 Varia organiseert een speciale editie van Read & Repair die zal worden opgesplitst in **twee(!)** collectieve lees- en conversatiesessies. Een zal online zijn en een andere zal in onze ruimte in Charlois zijn.  Het is een reeks van evenementen om zaken zoals abolitionistische technologie en door community gedreven systemen van aansprakelijkheid te bespreken, tegelijkertijd het genereren van anonieme, consensuele puinhopen voor ***stone throw*, een tijdelijke online werk om onze methoden en reflecties te delen**. We zijn op zoek gegaan naar teksten die gaan over wat we willen leren over het hier en nu.  
 **lezingen**
 Voor onze eerste sessie zullen we voorlezen uit Ruha Benjamin's *Race After Technology*, waarbij we kiezen voor hoofdstuk 5: *Retooling Solidarity, Reimagining Justice*. In dit hoofdstuk onderzoekt Benjamin hoe practici, academici, activisten, kunstenaars en studenten zich verzetten tegen The New Jim-code (een term die Benjamin gebruikt om discriminerende technologie te verbinden met vroegere segregationistische wetten uit de zuidelijke staten van de VS.) en deze uit te dagen. Dit hoofdstuk biedt ook suggesties om bij te dragen aan een benadering van technologie die verder gaat dan de toegang tot nieuwe producten of tot het bepleiten van ontwerppraktijken georiënteerd op rechtvaardigheid.  
 De teksten die we zullen lezen tijdens de tweede sessie zijn: 
 * *Letters to Angela Y. Davis* vanuit haar boek *If They Come in the Morning ... Voices of Resistance*
 * *Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police* door Mariame Kaba
 * en we zullen gebruik maken van enkele workshopscenario's van *Critical Resistance*, een nationale, op leden gebaseerde grassroots organisatie die werkt aan de opbouw van een massabeweging om het industriële gevangenis complex te ontmantelen
 We erkennen dat deze sessies in het teken staan van de Verenigde Staten, maar we willen ze in de context van Europa bespreken. Ook zijn het vooral bedrijven uit de Verenigde Staten die de meest alomtegenwoordige technologieën, die uiteindelijk het politiewerk en de oorlogsvoering ondersteunen, bezitten, in stand houden en ontwikkelen.
 **stone throw**
 *stone throw* is een pedagogisch werk. Een verzameling van korte essays en referenties, gepresenteerd in een online ruimte, die geprogrammeerd zijn om in de loop van de tijd te eroderen. Het schrijven zal samengaan met een geluidswerk en gescande beelden die de puinhopen van onze collectieve lectuur presenteren. De visuele componenten zullen slechts tijdelijk beschikbaar zijn omdat ze digitaal worden geërodeerd en gecorrumpeerd. Het (onze) tekstuele materiaal is reactief; hoe meer het wordt bekeken (belicht) hoe sneller het vervaagt.
 Dit werk is een reactie op een gesprek op youtube, tussen Seda Gürses en Florian Cramer (Crisis Education Critical Education, Artez). *"Hoe hacken we de digitale infrastructuur om zinvolle leeromgevingen te creëren?"* stone throw is een agitatie naar online infrastructuren. Bewust van zijn hypocriete positie, het online zijn, gaat stone throw dit tegen door doormiddel van erosie zichzelf te laten vergaan.
 Het zal geologische processen nabootsen die aan rotsen knagen en fysieke scans/fotokopieën die het intellectueel eigendomsrecht aantasten door het maken en weggooien van kopieën. Het behandelen van digitaal als iets natuurlijks is een poging onze mediaapparatuur aan de kaak te stellen die, zoals Cramer zegt, *"onze verbeelding beheersen voor wat deze media kunnen zijn"*. 
 stone throw werd geïnitieerd door Amy Pickles, zij heeft samen met Cristina Cochior & Julie Boschat Thorez het leesmateriaal voor deze pedagogische evenementen geselecteerd. Dit project wordt mogelijk gemaakt met PPR-fondsen van het CBK .

 summary: Every last Sunday of the month, the Varia Library and Rotterdam Electronics Depot are open. Varia is hosting a special edition of *Read & Repair* that will be split into two(!) collective reading and conversation sessions. One will be online and one will be in our physical space, as a series of events to discuss matters of abolitionist technology & community-driven systems of accountability, while generating anonymous, consensual debris for *stone throw*, a temporary online work to share our resources and reflections.
 During the current times, Varia's Read & Repair days are continuing in a trans-local mode. We are trying to find the right balance between having different modes of togetherness through collective reading and sharing, while joining either through an online channel or by being present in the space in Charlois.
 Varia is hosting a special edition of *Read & Repair* that will be split into **two(!)** collective reading and conversation sessions. One will be online and one will be in our physical space, as a series of events to discuss matters of abolitionist technology & community-driven systems of accountability, while generating anonymous, consensual debris for ***stone throw*, a temporary online work to share our resources and reflections**. We sought texts that are talking about what we want to learn with and about, now.
 **readings**
 For our first session we will read from *Ruha Benjamin's Race After Technology*, choosing chapter 5 *Retooling Solidarity, Reimagining Justice* to read together. In this chapter, Benjamin examines how practitioners, scholars, activists, artists, and students are working to resist and challenge the New Jim Code (a term Benjamin uses to connect discriminatory technology with past segregationist laws in the Southern states). This chapter also offers suggestions on how to contribute to an approach to technology that moves beyond accessing new products, to advocating for justice-oriented design practices.
 During the second session, we will be reading:
 * *Letters to Angela Y. Davis* from within her book *If They Come in the Morning ... Voices of Resistance*,
 * *Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police* by Mariame Kaba
 * and make use of some workshop scenarios from *Critical Resistance*, a national, member-based grassroots organization that works to build a mass movement to dismantle the prison-industrial complex.
 Through these texts, we aim to educate ourselves on the subject of police abolition, and learn from communities who have already imagined alternative practices of accountability.
 We acknowledge that these sessions are north american-centric, but want to discuss them in the context of europe. Also, it is mostly north-american companies that own, maintain and fuel the most pervasive technologies which ultimately support police work and warfare.
 **stone throw**
 stone throw is a pedagogical work. A collection of short essays and references presented in an online space, that will be programmed to erode over time. The writing will sit together with a sound work and scanned images that present debris from our collective reading. The visual components will only be temporarily available as they are digitally eroded and corrupted. The (our) textual material is reactive; the more it is viewed (exposed) the faster it fades away.
 This work responds to a conversation, on youtube, between Seda Gürses and Florian Cramer (Crisis Education Critical Education, Artez). *"How do we hack digital infrastructure to create meaningful learning environments?"* 
 stone throw is an agitation towards online infrastructures. Aware of its hypocritical position, being online, stone throw counters this by eroding itself.
 It will mimic geological processes that gnaw away at rocks and physical scanning/photocopying that degrades ownership by making and discarding copies. Treating digital as natural is an attempt to challenge how our devices, as Cramer says, “control our imagination for what this media can be”.
 stone throw was initiated by **Amy Pickles** who worked with **Cristina Cochior** & **Julie Boschat Thorez** to select the reading material for these pedagogical events. This project is made possible wth CBK PPR funds.

In this chapter, Benjamin examines how practitioners, scholars, activists, artists, and students are working to resist and challenge the New Jim Code (a term Benjamin uses to connect discriminatory technology with past segregationist laws in the Southern states). This chapter also offers suggestions on how to contribute to an approach to technology that moves beyond accessing new products, to advocating for justice-oriented design practices.
 During the second session, we will be reading:
 * *Letters to Angela Y. Davis* from within her book *If They Come in the Morning ... Voices of Resistance*,
 * *Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police* by Mariame Kaba
 * and make use of some workshop scenarios from *Critical Resistance*, a national, member-based grassroots organization that works to build a mass movement to dismantle the prison-industrial complex.
 Through these texts, we aim to educate ourselves on the subject of police abolition, and learn from communities who have already imagined alternative practices of accountability.
 We acknowledge that these sessions are north american-centric, but want to discuss them in the context of europe. Also, it is mostly north-american companies that own, maintain and fuel the most pervasive technologies which ultimately support police work and warfare.
 **stone throw**
 stone throw is a pedagogical work. A collection of short essays and references presented in an online space, that will be programmed to erode over time. The writing will sit together with a sound work and scanned images that present debris from our collective reading. The visual components will only be temporarily available as they are digitally eroded and corrupted. The (our) textual material is reactive; the more it is viewed (exposed) the faster it fades away.
 This work responds to a conversation, on youtube, between Seda Gürses and Florian Cramer (Crisis Education Critical Education, Artez). *"How do we hack digital infrastructure to create meaningful learning environments?"* 
 stone throw is an agitation towards online infrastructures. Aware of its hypocritical position, being online, stone throw counters this by eroding itself.
 It will mimic geological processes that gnaw away at rocks and physical scanning/photocopying that degrades ownership by making and discarding copies. Treating digital as natural is an attempt to challenge how our devices, as Cramer says, “control our imagination for what this media can be”.
 stone throw was initiated by **Amy Pickles** who worked with **Cristina Cochior** & **Julie Boschat Thorez** to select the reading material for these pedagogical events. This project is made possible wth CBK PPR funds.

 Title: Read & Repair feat. stone throw - sessie 1
 Date: 2020-07-19
 Category: readrepair
 Slug:rr-stone-throw-1
 lang: nl
 event_start: 2020-07-23 16:00
 event_duration: 2h

 summary: Varia organiseert een speciale editie van *Read & Repair* die zal worden opgesplitst in twee(!) collectieve lees- en conversatiesessies. Een zal online zijn en een andere zal in onze ruimte in Charlois zijn.  Het is een reeks van evenementen om zaken zoals abolitionistische technologie en door community gedreven systemen van aansprakelijkheid te bespreken, tegelijkertijd het genereren van anonieme, consensuele puinhopen voor *stone throw*, een tijdelijke online werk om onze methoden en reflecties te delen.
 In de huidige tijd gaan de Read & Repair dagen van Varia door in een translocale modus. We proberen de juiste balans te vinden tussen het hebben van verschillende modi van samenzijn door middel van collectief lezen en delen, terwijl we ons aansluiten via een online kanaal of door aanwezig te zijn in de ruimte in Charlois.  
 Varia organiseert een speciale editie van Read & Repair die zal worden opgesplitst in **twee(!)** collectieve lees- en conversatiesessies. Een zal online zijn en een andere zal in onze ruimte in Charlois zijn.  Het is een reeks van evenementen om zaken zoals abolitionistische technologie en door community gedreven systemen van aansprakelijkheid te bespreken, tegelijkertijd het genereren van anonieme, consensuele puinhopen voor ***stone throw*, een tijdelijke online werk om onze methoden en reflecties te delen**. We zijn op zoek gegaan naar teksten die gaan over wat we willen leren over het hier en nu.  
 **lezingen**
 Voor onze eerste sessie zullen we voorlezen uit Ruha Benjamin's *Race After Technology*, waarbij we kiezen voor hoofdstuk 5: *Retooling Solidarity, Reimagining Justice*. In dit hoofdstuk onderzoekt Benjamin hoe practici, academici, activisten, kunstenaars en studenten zich verzetten tegen The New Jim-code (een term die Benjamin gebruikt om discriminerende technologie te verbinden met vroegere segregationistische wetten uit de zuidelijke staten van de VS.) en deze uit te dagen. Dit hoofdstuk biedt ook suggesties om bij te dragen aan een benadering van technologie die verder gaat dan de toegang tot nieuwe producten of tot het bepleiten van ontwerppraktijken georiënteerd op rechtvaardigheid.  
 De teksten die we zullen lezen tijdens de tweede sessie zijn: 
 * *Letters to Angela Y. Davis* vanuit haar boek *If They Come in the Morning ... Voices of Resistance*
 * *Yes, We Mean Literally Abolish the Police* door Mariame Kaba
 * en we zullen gebruik maken van enkele workshopscenario's van *Critical Resistance*, een nationale, op leden gebaseerde grassroots organisatie die werkt aan de opbouw van een massabeweging om het industriële gevangenis complex te ontmantelen
 We erkennen dat deze sessies in het teken staan van de Verenigde Staten, maar we willen ze in de context van Europa bespreken. Ook zijn het vooral bedrijven uit de Verenigde Staten die de meest alomtegenwoordige technologieën, die uiteindelijk het politiewerk en de oorlogsvoering ondersteunen, bezitten, in stand houden en ontwikkelen.
 **stone throw**
 *stone throw* is een pedagogisch werk. Een verzameling van korte essays en referenties, gepresenteerd in een online ruimte, die geprogrammeerd zijn om in de loop van de tijd te eroderen. Het schrijven zal samengaan met een geluidswerk en gescande beelden die de puinhopen van onze collectieve lectuur presenteren. De visuele componenten zullen slechts tijdelijk beschikbaar zijn omdat ze digitaal worden geërodeerd en gecorrumpeerd. Het (onze) tekstuele materiaal is reactief; hoe meer het wordt bekeken (belicht) hoe sneller het vervaagt.
 Dit werk is een reactie op een gesprek op youtube, tussen Seda Gürses en Florian Cramer (Crisis Education Critical Education, Artez). *"Hoe hacken we de digitale infrastructuur om zinvolle leeromgevingen te creëren?"* stone throw is een agitatie naar online infrastructuren. Bewust van zijn hypocriete positie, het online zijn, gaat stone throw dit tegen door doormiddel van erosie zichzelf te laten vergaan.
 Het zal geologische processen nabootsen die aan rotsen knagen en fysieke scans/fotokopieën die het intellectueel eigendomsrecht aantasten door het maken en weggooien van kopieën. Het behandelen van digitaal als iets natuurlijks is een poging onze mediaapparatuur aan de kaak te stellen die, zoals Cramer zegt, *"onze verbeelding beheersen voor wat deze media kunnen zijn"*. 
 stone throw werd geïnitieerd door Amy Pickles, zij heeft samen met Cristina Cochior & Julie Boschat Thorez het leesmateriaal voor deze pedagogische evenementen geselecteerd. Dit project wordt mogelijk gemaakt met PPR-fondsen van het CBK .
